<B>1877 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1510, Pollock-1674, High R.7, PR65 Cameo PCGS.</B></I> The basic George Morgan design that was adopted for the Morgan dollar in 1878, but with a few notable differences. The date is tiny, and rather than stars, most of the obverse is filled with UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. The reverse elements are the same as the adopted dollar from 1878, but there are slight but noticeable difference that the specialist will immediately recognize. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. Only five pieces are known in silver. This is a fabulous example of this always-popular Morgan design. The fields are deeply mirrored with frosted devices. Rich reddish-golden toning is spread over most of each side with a few areas of light blue at the margins.<BR><I>Ex: J. Hewitt Judd; Lester Merkin (6/1970); Bass I (5/1999), lot 1218; M.
