Proof Seated Half Dollars
1874 50C Arrows PR66 PCGS. The With Arrows, With Motto design type lasted just two years, creating a dilemma for business strike and especially proof enthusiasts. Of 1873 and 1874, the latter has the higher mintage across the minor silver issues, but this amounted to just 700 pieces and carefully preserved representatives are rare in any case. This Premium Gem proof 1874 half dollar is too richly toned for a Cameo designation, though hints of contrast are ample. When the light is just right, the deep patina reveals startling azure hues at the margins with a fade to pink in the centers. A coin of great charm. Population: 5 in 66, 5 finer (10/16).
