About This Coin
The 1870 Half Dollar Patterns is a United States dollar from the Standard Silver Patterns (1870) series — the only year of issue. In 1870, coins were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. The obverse features experimental designs for a proposed "Standard Silver Dollar" of reduced weight and the reverse displays various experimental designs. Minted during Reconstruction and the Gilded Age, as the nation healed from civil war and debated the role of silver and gold in the monetary system. A notable auction result reached $21K in PR65 grade at Stack's. Designed by William Barber.
