Beautiful Washlady Pattern Half Dollar by Charles Barber Judd-1597 Silver 1879 Pattern Washlady Half Dollar. Judd-1597, Pollock-1791. Rarity-6+. Silver. Reeded Edge. Proof-67 Cameo (PCGS). CAC. Obv: Chief Engraver Charles E. Barber's Washlady or Society Lady motif with a left facing head of Liberty. Liberty is wearing a headband inscribed LIBERTY and ornamented with ears of wheat, cotton leaves and bolls. Thirteen stars are arranged around the border seven left, six right with the motto IN GOD WE TRUST above and the date 1879 below. Rev: An eagle with outstretched wings clutches an olive branch in its right talon and three long arrows in its left talon. The Latin motto E PLURIBUS UNUM is inscribed in the field directly above the eagle, the legend UNITED STATES OF AMERICA is above the motto, and the denomination HALF DOLLAR is inscribed along the lower border. Crescents of cobalt blue decorate the peripheries and give way to lighter, somewhat mottled, yet equally attractive champagne-pink iridescence elsewhere. Although there is a touch of softness to the high points in and around the centers, this as a well struck, overall sharply defined example of this perennially popular pattern type. Boldly cameo in finish with expertly preserved, virtually pristine surfaces. This silver striking of the Washlady half dollar is rare and there are just 12 to 15 examples known per the uspatterns.com website. This one is among the absolute finest. Provenance: From New Netherlands' sale of the Taylor Collection, 61st Sale, June 1970, lot 73; Legend Rare Coin Auctions' Regency Auction XXIII, October 2017, lot 433.
