Owner Comments:


1862 50C
Judd-296, Pollock-354
Rarity: High R.6, PR65 BN
Ex: Simpson.

Struck in copper with a reeded edge

Obverse: The Liberty Seated type used for the year 1862.
Reverse: Virtually identical to the adopted design with the motto GOD OUR TRUST set directly into the upper reverse field without a banner or scroll.

Comment:
The present Gem is glossy brown with vibrant accents of cobalt-blue and magenta. Flashy and pinpoint-sharp. These pre-motto patterns exist to the extent of about two dozen in silver and about half that in copper.
