Description

1874-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-1. Rarity-6. Good-4 (ICG).

A richly and originally toned example awash in blended rose, dove and silver-gray. The central design elements are near-fully outlined, and the date and CC mintmark are clear. The 1874-CC is one of only two Carson City Mint issues for the brief Arrows, Motto half dollar type of 1873 to 1874. It is rarer than the 1873-CC Arrows in all grades and, with a mintage of 59,000 pieces, it is one of the key issues among Liberty Seated half dollars. According to Bill Bugert in the 2010 reference A Register of Liberty Seated Half Dollar Varieties, Volume II: Carson City Branch Mint, only 300 to 350 examples of the 1874-CC are extant in all grades. The WB-1, offered here, is one of the more elusive varieties of the issue.

PCGS# 6347. NGC ID: 24LB.
