1873 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-106. Large Arrows. MS-65 (PCGS).Smooth and lustrous surfaces are accented by nicely blended hues of blue and gold on both sides with brighter highlights at the peripheries. Well struck with nice definition of most fine details. The With Arrows half dollars of 1873 and 1874 are quite scarce in gem grades; indeed this is one of just 20 graded at this level or finer by PCGS, topping out at "just" MS-66. Since examples at this grade level are often purchased for type sets it is useful to mention that among all date and mintmark varieties of 1873 and 1874 Arrows half dollars, just 15 coins have been graded finer by PCGS, so there are a very limited number to go around. As a solidly graded Gem of a popular type coin, you can expect to see spirited bidding when this one crosses the block.
