1877 Half Union Proof - 1.25 oz. Copper Round History Meets Art: The "Coin That Never Was" Own a stunning tribute to one of the rarest designs in American numismatic history. Originally designed by William Barber (renowned designer of the Barber Dime), the "Half Union" was a proposed $50 gold coin. While approved by the U.S. Senate in the mid-1800s, it failed to pass the House, leaving the original dies to be preserved at the Smithsonian Institution. This 45mm proof round brings Barber’s legendary vision to life in brilliant, copper.
