详细说明

<strong>Obv:</strong> James Barton Longacre's French Liberty head facing right with a crown of leaves on her head and the word LIBERTY inscribed on a ribbon draped over her shoulder. The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is around the border and the date 1859 is below. <strong>Rev:</strong> The denomination HALF DOLLAR is centered within a wreath of cotton, tobacco, sugar cane, corn, wheat and oak leaves. Universally frosty to semi-reflective surfaces are subdued to help explain the NGC grade, but show no sizeable handling marks. Minimally toned in pale silver and gold. As noted elsewhere in this catalog, the attribution of this design type to Longacre is based on numismatic tradition; the engraver may have been Anthony C. Paquet.
