1874-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-1. Rarity-6. Good-4 (ICG). A richly and originally toned example awash in blended rose, dove and silver-gray. The central design elements are near-fully outlined, and the date and CC mintmark are clear. The 1874-CC is one of only two Carson City Mint issues for the brief Arrows, Motto half dollar type of 1873 to 1874. It is rarer than the 1873-CC Arrows in all grades and, with a mintage of 59,000 pieces, it is one of the key issues among Liberty Seated half dollars. According to Bill Bugert in the 2010 reference emA Register of Liberty Seated Half Dollar Varieties, Volume II: Carson City Branch Mint/em, only 300 to 350 examples of the 1874-CC are extant in all grades. The WB-1, offered here, is one of the more elusive varieties of the issue.
