Lot 1423
1874. Arrows. PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ. CAC Approved. This represents the second of two proof deliveries of the Arrows at Date, With Motto Seated half dollar series. The 1874 date is a bit more available than the 1873 with a higher mintage figure of 700 pieces. Still, Gem-quality survivors of this issue are not common, Proof-64 being the highest numeric grade that is usually available in today's market. This beautiful proof 1874 half dollar is a remarkable original Gem that features deep multicolored iridescence on both sides. On the obverse, deep sunset-red and pink colors yield to electric-blue accents at the outermost peripheral areas. The reverse exhibits similar, but slightly lighter colors including silver-gray, pink, and russet throughout the center with electric-blue at the border areas. An imperfection on the PCGS holder should not be confused as a spot at the center of the obverse. Nicely contrasted in finish, and conditionally rare for both the issue and the type. Pop 15; 9 finer at PCGS. (PCGS # 6435) .
Estimated Value $9,500 - 10,000.
