Lead | 50C 1873 NO ARROWS, OPEN 3 PCGS MS62 CAC |
Description |
From the VALLEY COLLECTION. A major condition rarity, the Open 3 logotype was introduced after the Close 3, which was replaced as it looked too much like an 8. This coin is tied for second finest certified by PCGS. This beautiful coin has pleasing iridescent toning on both sides and a strong strike imparted a strong strike. Rich satin luster dances from beneath golden-lilac-sea green- and deep silver hues.
Listed as a low R-8 in Mint State by researchers Wiley and Bugert. This piece is absolutely among the finest in existence and is a centerpiece of any major Seated Liberty half dollar collection.
PCGS 2, NGC 0, CAC 1. The finest PCGS coin to sell at auction was an AU58 coin that sold in January 2013. The only mint state piece to sell was an NGC MS61 CAC. Only one example has been graded higher, an MS63 coin, which has not sold at auction in recent times (listed as being in Auction ‘86 on PCGS CoinFacts). If you are building a world class collection of Seated Liberty half dollars, this piece will stand as a centerpiece! Opportunity knocks very loudly here, do not miss it! PCGS # 6337
