Lot Description

1874-S Seated Liberty Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-103. MS-63 (PCGS). A conditionally challenging coin as so few are known in choice mint state. This piece is particularly nice for the grade assigned, with delicate golden-blue toning spanning both sides. The strike is sharp on all but a couple of the lower right hand stars. Strong roller lines in evidence on the obverse, features nearly always seen on coins from this mint. The S mintmark is small and sharp, placed high between the claw and stem point. Slightly reflective in the reverse fields.
