Owner Comments:

A bust of Liberty wearing a cap ornamented with two stars faces right, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA surrounds the figure, and a scroll with IN GOD WE TRUST is below. The reverse depicts 50 CENTS centered in a wreath of oak and laurel leaves with STANDARD SILVER above and the date, 1869, below. Struck in silver with a reeded edge. This lightly toned piece has a typical strike for the issue.

The PCGS insert presently lists this piece as J-742 which is incorrect as the obverse ribbon lacks the B initial, making this piece the much rarer J-742a.
