<B>1879 50C Morgan Half Dollar, Judd-1601, Pollock-1796, High R.6, PR66 PCGS.</B></I> The obverse is essentially identical to the issued Morgan dollar, although reduced in scale for the half dollar denomination. The reverse features an eagle with spread and lowered wings, clutching the traditional olive sprig and arrows with its talons. Peripheral statutory legends frame the central motif. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. The design is similar to Judd-1599 aside from the arrangement of the stars and E PLURIBUS UNUM across the obverse border. The devices demonstrate obvious white-on-black contrast with the mirrored fields, although the piece is undesignated as Cameo by PCGS. The strike is exacting, and while the centers are brilliant, the borders display light golden-brown toning. A tiny carbon fleck on the cheek identifies this specimen. Population: 1 in 66, 2 finer (10/06).<BR><I>From The Jones Beach Collection.</B></I><BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
