Strike TypeCoin Details
Description
The 1891 Proof Half Dollar Pattern - J-1762 is a proof half dollar pattern struck at the Philadelphia Mint, part of the Design Reform Patterns (1880-1942) series. It is one of Charles E. Barber's 1891 designs that came before the Barber dime, quarter and half dollar of 1892. Its reverse, with clouds above the eagle, is the one used on the quarter pattern J-1761; Judd says two are known, but USPatterns.com knows only the Smithsonian example. It is struck in silver with a reeded edge. USPatterns.com rates it R-8. It is also catalogued as Pollock-1976, Adams-Woodin 1728 and Taxay EP1289. Cataloged as PCGS #62212.
