The cap is decorated with cereal grains, reminiscent of the familiar Morgan Dollar design. On the busy reverse, a small heraldic eagle resides within a shield. This shield is encircled by bands with IN GOD WE TRUST and E PLURIBUS UNUM in gothic letters. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and HALF DOLLAR in bold letters complete the statutory legends. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. Harry W. Bass, Jr. is credited with discovering the two variants of Judd-1525, Pollock-1691 and Pollock-1693. The final 7 in the date is placed higher in the field on Pollock-1691. Vivid navy-blue, orange, and forest-green colors enrich the sharply struck and carefully preserved surfaces. The ninth star is lightly repunched, and a pair of short lintmarks (as produced) are noted below only for pedigree purposes.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.
