1869 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-748,
1869 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-748, Pollock-831, R.5, PR64 PCGS. Standard Silver design with a bust of Liberty facing right on the obverse. Liberty is wearing a diadem inscribed LIBERTY, the legend is around the border, and the motto IN GOD WE TRUST is on a scroll at the bottom. The reverse exhibits the denomination 50 CENTS within a wreath of oak and laurel. STANDARD SILVER is at the periphery, the date 1869 is below the wreath. The left star is repunched. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The deep navy-blue and mauve patina reveals apricot hues when the pattern is rotated under a light. The letters in LIBERTY and CENTS offer occasional softness of strike, and a few wispy obverse hairlines do not distract. The dies are slightly rotated counterclockwise.From the Frank O. Fredericks Collection, Part III. Important notice: 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. 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.
