1873 No Arrows, Open 3 Half Dollar
Notable Near-Mint Survivor

1873 50C No Arrows, Open 3 AU58 NGC. The 1873 Open 3, No Arrows half dollar is a scarce variety as many coins from a mintage of 214,200 pieces were melted after the weight adjustment in 1873. The 3 was changed from the older Closed 3 style because the digit was easily mistaken for an 8, and the Open 3, No Arrows type was struck for only a short window between the two events. This attractive near-Mint example displays just a hint of high-point wear on the devices. The lustrous surfaces show highlights of gold toning and few signs of coin-to-coin contact. A great example of an underrated Seated half dollar issue beginning to come into its own. Census: 4 in 58, 1 finer (11/14).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 24KB, PCGS# 6337, Greysheet# 6292)
