Lot 704
1867 Pattern Half Dime. Copper, reeded edge. . Judd-586. Pollock-651. PCGS graded Proof 65 Red & Brown. A trial piece from the regular dies then in use. Unusually for a copper coin, we note very faint traces of adjustment marks on Liberty's right arm and the lower left quadrant of the shield, otherwise nicely struck. Most attractive deep reddish-brown color, with just a few tiny spots visible under magnification. Judd quotes High Rarity 7, indicating that 4 to 6 pieces are known. PCGS has graded only this one specimen, housed in an old green label holder, thus Pop 1, none finer. NGC has also graded a single example in PF-65 RB. Extremely Rare (PCGS # 60798) .
Estimated Value $5,500 - 6,000.
