Lot 1489
1874 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. NGC graded Proof 65. Only 700 struck. Nice white coin. A satiny frosted gem with energetic cartwheel mirrors and rich contrasting relief elements that seems to want to motivate bidders to increase their bids a notch. The 1873-74 Arrows coins were the result of a slight change at the mint in the weight standard of America's silver coins. Proofs were struck in each of these years, and in normal numbers consistent with similar issues in the 1870s. However, because of the coin's two-year status as at Type, extra collector pressure has made it the coin d'jour for Type set buyers. Pop 14; 7 finer. (PCGS # 6435) .
Estimated Value $7,000 - 7,500.
