Gem+ Proof 1870 Pattern Half Dollar
Beautifully Toned
1870 Pattern Fifty Cents. Judd-940, Pollock-1053. Standard Silver Series. Silver. Plain Edge. Rarity-7. Proof-66+ PCGS. CAC. Obv: bust of Liberty right, Phrygian cap and stars on head, long tresses with flowing ribbon, incused LIBERTY on ribbon, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA around, IN GOD WE TRUST on banner below. Rev: cereal wreath, STANDARD arcs above, 50 / CENTS / 1870 within. Here is a simply superb pattern silver quarter that deserves any and all accolades writers care to dwell upon. The satiny pale rose obverse practically explodes with amazing electric-blue, fiery crimson, and sunset-orange iridescence when viewed in a bold light source. The reverse, far more reflective than the gently toned pale rose obverse, exhibits varied champagne-gold at the center that yields quickly to an intense display of neon-blue at the rim that frames some violet iridescence among the cereal wreath grains. The present pattern quarter is tied for finest certified by PCGS at Proof-66, but this is the only “+’” listed by the firm in any grade! As beautiful as it is rare, and we don’t get to say that too often!
PCGS Population: 1; no others within the “+” designation; 2 other examples of J-940 have been called Proof-66, but with no further qualifier.
