Description

A copper impression from the same dies as J-1105, this half dollar pattern demonstrates the Seated Liberty and eagle design in familiar base metal. At the half dollar's generous diameter, the copper composition creates one of the most visually impressive base-metal patterns in the entire Trade Dollar era program, with the eagle's spread wings and Liberty's flowing drapery rendered in rich warm tones. Copper half dollar patterns are prized by type collectors for their size and beauty.
