1874 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-102. Large Arrows. MS-65 (PCGS).
An very well preserved, high grade example of this two-year design type from the later Liberty Seated half dollar series. Richly toned surfaces display dominant steely-charcoal patina with intermingled sandy-silver highlights that are more widespread on the reverse. Both sides are smooth and lustrous with a boldly executed strike. The Arrows type of 1873 to 1874 is more challenging to locate than those dated 1854 to 1855, in all grades, both circulated and Mint State. 1874 has the highest mintage of this type at 2,359,600 circulation strikes and, as a result, it is obtainable in grades up to and including MS-64. However, above that level the 1874 is rare, especially relative to the strong demand from advanced type collectors. This handsome Gem is a significant condition rarity and will be a highlight in a fantastic numismatic cabinet or PCGS Registry Set.
