详细说明

<strong>Obv:</strong> Liberty is seated facing left with the date 1871 below. She wears a Native American headdress, supports a liberty pole with her right hand, and her left hand rests on a globe inscribed LIBERTY. Thirteen stars encircle the border, and two flags are behind the portrait. <strong>Rev:</strong> A wreath of corn and cotton surrounds the denomination 50 / CENTS with the word STANDARD above. Brilliant apart from a blush of pale pinkish-silver tinting, this well mirrored specimen also offers full striking detail throughout the design. This type combines the Longacre "Indian Princess" obverse design with stars with the "Standard Silver" reverse design of 1870. The website <em>uspatterns.com</em> suggests that this combination was implemented by William Barber, as Longacre died in 1869, and notes that examples were originally sold as part of complete sets from the half dime to the silver dollar. The census listing on that site includes only 10 specimens of Judd-1111, two of which are permanently impounded in museum collections.
