1861 Pattern Half Dollar. Copper, Reeded Edge.
Judd-280. Pollock-331 Low Rarity 7
.
PCGS graded
Proof 65 Red & Brown PQ.
CAC Approved
. Lovely red
and blue toning. A With Motto half dollar that is similar to
the as-struck Seated half, except the motto GOD OUR
TRUST is set directly into the upper reverse field. Struck in
copper with a reeded edge. Obviously struck at some time
later than 1861 as the suggestion for a motto on coinage
was not made until 1863. Significant portions of original
mint red survives, especially around the devices. A well-bal-
anced Gem with nicely reflective fields.

341. Pollock-413 Rarity 5
.
PCGS graded Proof 64 Red &
Brown
. A small obverse spot. Nicely toned. GOD OUR TRUST in
field above eagle. This year is notable for the appearance of a
set of Patterns for the silver dollar, half and quarter, combining
the regular obverse dies and the reverses adopted in 1866 with
the motto "IN GOD WE TRUST" on a scroll above the eagle.
(The set of Pattern half dollars and eagles with the motto 'GOD
OUR TRUST'issued in 1861 and 1862 were struck again,
redated 1863, this being a half dollar from the group.)
