PCGS PR64+ RB – Judd-930 – 1871 50C Pattern – CAC Approved

The Judd-930 is a scarce (High R-7) and visually striking 1871 pattern half dollar struck in copper, a format used by the Mint to trial designs prior to committing them to silver. Featuring the boldly rendered William Barber Liberty with a shield and sword on the obverse and the powerful eagle reverse reminiscent of the contemporary Seated Liberty series, this pattern reflects a moment of active artistic experimentation within the Mint. Graded PCGS PR64+ Red-Brown and endorsed by CAC, this example offers exceptional surfaces with vibrant traces of original mint red blending into rich, iridescent brown toning—far superior eye appeal to what is typically seen for the issue. A high-end, premium-quality survivor, this Judd-930 stands as an impressive opportunity for advanced pattern collectors seeking a choice, pedigreed 19th-century experimental piece.
