Description
The copper companion to J-1108, this half dollar pattern reproduces the modified cap and pole design in warm base metal. At the half dollar's substantial diameter, copper provides an exceptionally beautiful canvas for the Seated Liberty design, with the modified regalia elements clearly distinguishable from the standard treatment. The piece demonstrates how design evolution could proceed through subtle refinement rather than wholesale replacement.
Rarity Notes
