1838 P50C Half Dollar Judd-72, Pollock-75, R.5, PR67 Cameo NGC. The obverse depicts a draped bust of Liberty facing left. Liberty wears a diadem and a ribbon inscribed LIBERTY. The Liberty bust is often credited to William Kneass, but the portrait style is closer to Christian Gobrecht. On the reverse, an eagle with outstretched wings holds four arrows in its right (facing) claw and an olive branch in its left (facing). The legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the denomination HALF DOLLAR are around the periphery. Struck in silver with a reeded edge and a nearly medallic alignment. This remarkable Superb Gem is without a doubt the finest example of this pattern variety that we have seen. The surfaces are deeply mirrored around lustrous devices with exceptional golden-brown and navy-blue toning throughout both sides. It is sharply struck and undeniably attractive. PCGS has yet to certify any in grades above PR66, and NGC shows only this coin at the PR67 Cameo level. None are certified finer (4/26).
