Lot Description

1873-CC Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-103. Large CC. VF-35 (PCGS). Medium golden gray with deeper golden highlights in the protected design areas. Well-circulated but surprisingly free of contact marks of any nature -- circulation was kind to this specimen. A popular branch mint key date in the series despite a somewhat sizeable mintage of 214,500 pieces. The majority of the date saw plenty of pocket change activity during the era, and the usual survivor is typically well-worn. Choice for the assigned grade.
