- Scarce Choice BU 1873-S Arrows Half Dollar 1873-S Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-101, Die Pair WB-1, the only known dies. Rarity-3+. MS-64 (NGC). CAC. An important type coin that is seldom offered in grades that approach the Gem level. The strike is deep and the fields are satiny. Toned with orange-gold and dove-gray over each side. The arrows at the date signify a minor change to the silver content in that year and were used only through 1874, although the changed silver content continued after that time. This fully lustrous half dollar is certainly among the top dozen for this date and mint. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers Another half dollar from a block of numismatic eagles, so to speak, top-level coins that are either rare on an absolute basis or are condition rarities. As a general rule for the Richard Jewell Collection, the pieces offered are among the top dozen in existence and, for some are the very finest know. If you are a specialist in Liberty Seated half dollars, you will have a feast at this sale. If these are not a specialty, you may want to think of this as a good way to start. One thing is certain: for nearly everything you buy you will never have the need to upgrade. PCGS# 6345. Provenance: From the Richard Jewell Collection. NGC Census: 4 in 64; 3 finer (65 the finest).
