1871 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-1107
1871 50C Standard Silver Half Dollar, Judd-1107, Pollock-1243, R.8, PR66 Cameo PCGS. Longacre's Indian Princess as implemented by William Barber. No stars across the obverse border, 13 stars on the flag behind the seated Liberty. Barber added latitude and longitude lines to the globe and removed Longacre's name from the base; compare with Judd-1009. The reverse has a wreath of cotton and corn with 50 CENTS placed high inside and STANDARD centered above. Struck in aluminum with a reeded edge. A sharply struck and essentially pristine Gem that was cataloged as "Gem Brilliant Proof-67" in its 1981 Bowers & Ruddy appearance. The only Judd-1107 to be certified by either service. Listed as Rarity-8 in the newest edition of Judd. A couple of minuscule planchet flaws (as produced) on the 0 in 50 confirm the pedigree of this possibly unique pattern.Ex: Michael Steig Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 9/1982), lot 1803, which realized $2,310; earlier, William R. Sieck Collection (Bowers and Ruddy, 7/1981), lot 215, which realized $2,500; obtained in 1977 at the Central States convention in a private transaction.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.
