Coin Details

Description

The copper companion to J-1201, this conventional Seated Liberty half dollar provides the warm-toned base-metal comparison for the traditional design approach. At the half dollar's generous diameter, the copper composition produces one of the most visually appealing base-metal patterns in the 1872 series. The piece served as a reminder that artistic convention, when executed with skill, could produce results of enduring beauty.
