1877 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1513, Pollock
1877 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1513, Pollock-1677, R.6-7, PR64 Red and Brown PCGS. Designed by George Morgan, the obverse has a reduced head of Liberty as seen on the adopted silver dollar of 1878, surrounded by a circle of beads, and between the beads and denticles are E PLURIBUS UNUM, 13 stars, and the date. The reverse shows a defiant eagle facing left. This is the same eagle Morgan would use 38 years later on the reverse of the Panama-Pacific quarter eagle. This reverse was also used with minor modifications on the famous 1879 Schoolgirl dollar. The same inner beaded border is repeated on the reverse and between the beads and the denticles are UNITED STATES OF AMERICA HALF DOLLAR. Struck in copper with a reeded edge. This lovely Red and Brown example has brown patina in the centers with significant amounts of original, flaming red luster around the margins. There are no obvious contact marks on either the obverse or reverse and a strong magnifier will be needed to spy the minute flecks of carbon on each side.From the Frank O.

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.
