(1857) Half Dollar Die Trial - J-A1857-2, Reverse
Strike Type
Coin Details
Description
This is Anthony C. Paquet's design for a half dollar reverse, an unfinished die trial in white metal. Its thin eagle holds a ribbon in its beak; 13 stars sit over it and the denomination underneath, and uspatterns suggests it may have led to the heraldic eagle of the patterns Judd-222 and 223. The white metal piece is unique; a copper striking listed by Judd has not been confirmed.
