Description
The 1877 Proof Half Dollar Pattern - J-1528 is a proof half dollar pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Metric & Stella Patterns (1874-1879) series. The obverse is William Barber's helmeted Liberty, which Pollock traces to a drawing Christian Gobrecht made in the late 1830s. Four are known, and they may have been struck deliberately for sale to collectors. It is struck in silver with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-7. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1696, Adams-Woodin 1516 and Taxay EP1062. Cataloged as PCGS #61868.
