SsuperDdave Moderator United States 23522 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 2:51 pm Standard Silver Half Dollar Pattern, official Mint work. A bunch were struck as Proofs in 1869-1870 from varying materials with and without reeding, in a couple different basic patterns. Depending on grade it could be a $5000+ coin.

srs77 Pillar of the Community United States 3141 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 2:53 pm SsuperDdave, it's graded PF64 by PCGS but I had never seen one before. Thanks for the info! Based on that grade what kind of money are we talking? Thanks again! Report this Post to the Staff
Duncan_Doenitz Valued Member United States 110 Posts	Posted 07/31/2015 3:04 pm The design looks like Judd J-945, but there were an insane number of similar patterns in 1870 - most of the similar type did not have the Phrygian cap, though. J-946 was in copper, but I didn't find an image in a quick search. Auction results for similar patterns were in the $4500 to $9500 range. Report this Post to the Staff
