About This Coin
William Barber's fifty-dollar half union of 1877 was made in two obverse versions, each struck once in gold (J-1546 and J-1548) and in small numbers in copper (J-1547 and J-1549, several later gilt). Both gold pieces belonged to Col. Snowden, passed to William Woodin, and were returned to the Mint collection in 1910; they are now in the Smithsonian.
