Lot Description

1874 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-102. Large Arrows. MS-64 (PCGS). A gorgeous near-Gem with brilliant frosty surfaces and faint golden color at the right side of the obverse field. The devices are struck just as sharply as Gobrecht intended, with a satiny, uninterrupted luster blanketing the fields. This is a key type issue as the Arrows type were issued only in 1873 and 1874 for this particular planchet change. Gems are downright hard to find of this issue and often bring the five figure price range. Hence most collectors obtain a handsome example like this, which offers strong eye appeal and clean surfaces for numismatic study. PCGS# 6346. NGC ID: 24LA.
