New Style 1873-CC Half Dollar, MS64
Arrows at the Date
1873-CC 50C Arrows MS64 PCGS. CAC. Arrowheads were placed
beside the date on all half dollars minted after April 1873 to
indicate a small weight change in the planchet. The new coins
contained slightly more silver than their earlier counterparts, and
were designed to have an exact metric weight of 12.5 grams. At the
Carson City Mint, 214,560 half dollars were struck using the new
standard in 1873. The issue is scarce in all grades today, and Mint
State examples are rare. NGC has graded four coins at the MS64
level, with two finer; while PCGS has certified seven examples in
MS64, with two finer (11/09).The coin offered here is sharply struck throughout, with attractive steel-gray toning, accented by horizontal streaks of russet and lilac. The surfaces show a minimum number of handling marks for the grade. Since this issue is virtually unobtainable at the Gem level, the present specimen represents an important opportunity for advanced type collectors and half dollar specialists.(Registry values: N7079)
