Description

1874 Seated Liberty Half Dollar, PR64
Extraordinary Mirrored Fields

1874 50C Arrows PR64 PCGS. WB-101, Small Arrowheads. A pair of arrowheads at the date was added in 1873 and carried on into 1874 to signify a weight change in the half dollar, from 12.44 to 12.5 grams. The accepted mintage figure for proofs is 700 pieces, the number of silver proof sets coined, but Breen believes another 50 may have been minted and sold separately. This example has profoundly deep mirrors, but the obverse has a light, hazy, gray-blue patina that tends to partially subdue the depth at certain angles. The reverse is brilliant, with light golden accents at the rim. Population: 57 in 64, 19 finer (12/09).
