Coin Details
Description
The 1876 Proof Half Dollar Pattern - J-1456 is a proof half dollar pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. It was struck from the regular 1876 Seated Liberty half dollar dies. USPatterns.com believes the 1876 copper strikings from regular dies were made for sale to collectors in sets, which were only partly complete that year. Two are known; one probably comes from Woodin's 1914 ANS exhibit and the other from the Lohr collection. It is struck in copper with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1605. Cataloged as PCGS #61776.
