1873-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-7. Rarity-4. Repunched Date. AU-55 (PCGS).

This is a lustrous Choice AU example of this key date Carson City Mint half dollar. Otherwise antique silver surfaces exhibit steel-gray patina through much of the obverse field, with lighter olive-russet outlines to many of the design elements on the reverse. Both sides are boldly to sharply defined in most areas and reveal traces of a modestly semi-prooflike finish under a light. Although the 1873-CC is the more available Carson City Mint issue of the brief Liberty Seated, Arrows half dollar of 1873 to 1874, survivors are still scarce, becoming rare when in grades at or near the Mint State level. Most were worn out and eventually lost in circulation and a fair number are impaired. In a "straight-graded" PCGS AU-55 holder, the present example is sure to appeal to specialists.

PCGS# 6344. NGC ID: 24L8.
