Description
This is a 1859 PATTERN 50c, J-237, SILVER, RIGHT FACING LIBERTY HALF DOLLAR, PCGS PR-63, GORGEOUS! 1859 WAS A YEAR THAT OPENED UP THE FLOODGATES FOR PATTERN COINAGE. THE MANY DIFFERENT PROPOSED DESIGNS WERE DOMINATED BY A NEW LIBERTY HEAD PLATFORM. A FRENCH HEAD OF LIBERTY FACING RIGHT WAS THE CORNERSTONE OF THE DESIGN, WITH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT REVERSES. MOST FEATURED A WREATH ALONG WITH THE DENOMINATION INSIDE OF THE WREATH. J-237 HAS ALWAYS BEEN CATALOGED AS AN R-4, AND REMAINS SO TODAY. THE PRESENT EXAMPLE BOASTS COBALT BLUE AND GOLDEN ROSE HUES WHICH DANCE ATOP DEEP, WATERY FIELDS. BETTER EYE APPEAL AT THIS GRADE LEVEL WOULD BE HARD TO IMAGINE. Our commitment is to provide you with quality coins and collectibles at the best possible prices. This piece is no exception.
