- 1870 Pattern Half Dollar. Judd-934, Pollock-1040. Rarity-7-. Silver. Plain Edge. Proof-64 (NGC). Obv:William Barber's seated Liberty facing left, an olive branch in her left hand, her right hand supporting a federal shield with a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY crossing the shield. LIBERTY is expressed in raised letters, as always seen on examples of this type despite the notation in the 1994 Pollock pattern reference to the contrary (incuse letters). A liberty pole with cap is behind the portrait, 13 stars encircle the periphery, and the date 1870 is below. Rev:The same design that the Mint used to produce regular issue 1870 Liberty Seated half dollars. Pretty copper-apricot peripheral toning blends with otherwise dominant silver-olive patina on the obverse. The reverse is untoned apart from vivid reddish-apricot border toning. Smartly impressed with razor sharp design elements and a modestly cameoed finish evident on the obverse at direct lighting angles. Only a dozen of these are known per the uspatterns.comwebsite, confirming the scarcity of Judd-934 in numismatic circles. Provenance: From the E. Horatio Morgan Collection. NGC Census: 2; 2 finer in this category (Proof-66 finest). PCGS# 61180. NGC ID: 29Y6. Click here for certification details from NGC.
