<B>1863<50C> Half Dollar, Judd-338, Pollock-410, R.5, PR64 PCGS.</B></I> Similar to the adopted design, but the motto reads GOD OUR TRUST set on a scroll above the eagle's head. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Seven sets are believed to have been originally struck in 1863, with the remaining 18 or so pieces known being restrikes that were sold to collectors. However, there are apparently no diagnostics known to distinguish the originals from the later restrikes. This well struck near-Gem features untoned centers framed by peripheral freckles of powder-blue patina. A few wispy hairlines in the fields are of little concern.<BR><I>Ex: Louis E. Eliasberg, Sr. Collection (Bowers and Merena, 5/96), lot 257.</B></I> <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
