OUR NEWEST REPRODUCTION! 1877 $50 HALF UNION PATTERN COIN! This famous fifty-dollar pattern by William Barber would have been the highest denomination ever issued by the Mint up to that time. There is only one solid gold specimen known (residing in the Smithsonian), but copper specimens, some gold plated, occasionally come to the market, readily bringing prices ranging from $200,000 to over $300,000. We offer two versions of this great rarity, one 24 karat gold plated over copper, and the second in copper. Same content and size as the rare originals in a clear plastic capsule. This reproduction's great size and beauty make it a wonderful addition to your collection and a great conversation piece!
