Judd-293, Pollock-352,
Rarity: Low R.7, PR63BN
Struck in Copper with a reeded edge
Obverse: The same design that the Mint used to produce regular issue 1862 Liberty Seated half dollars.
Reverse: Similar to the regular issue design, but with the addition of a scroll with the motto GOD OUR TRUST in the field above the eagle within a scroll
Comment . The design is similar to that used on regular issue 1862 Seated half dollars, except that a scroll with the motto GOD OUR TRUST is present above the eagle's head. Both sides of this needle-sharp specimen show rich mahogany-brown color with cobalt-blue accents within the devices. Just a few microscopic hairlines are seen at certain light angles, these serving to limit the grade.
