Description

The 1891 Proof Half Dollar Pattern - J-1763 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 design went into production nearly unchanged in 1892; 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-1978, Adams-Woodin 1729 and Taxay EP1290. Cataloged as PCGS #62213.
