- 1874-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-3. Rarity-4. VF-30 (NGC). This otherwise brilliant example exhibits blushes of reddish-gold peripheral toning on both sides, as well as an arc of pretty cobalt blue color along the left obverse border. Moderately abraded overall, yet with few singularly distracting marks, and plenty of bold VF detail to the major design elements. 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. Most survivors are of the WB-3 variety, and the vast majority are in low grades with heavily worn, if not also impaired surfaces. Locating a straight-graded VF such as this is by no means an easy task, a fact that underscores the important bidding opportunity that this lot represents. PCGS# 6347. NGC ID: 24LB.
