Description
Struck in lead on an octagonal planchet, this unfinished obverse die trial is for the 1836 reeded edge Capped Bust half dollar, Judd-57. LIBERTY had not yet been cut into the cap band when it was made. Two examples are confirmed; one, ex Woodin's 1914 exhibit, Ford and Cox, is in the Mint collection at the Smithsonian. uspatterns notes that many collectors regard Judd-57, of which over 1,000 were struck, as a regular issue rather than a pattern.
