1873 50C No Arrows, Closed 3 AU58 认证号38188501, PCGS号6336

CAC Green Sticker. CAC data: 26 total, 6 on grade, 3 higher (1/2021). Comment from GFRC: No Arrows, Closed 3, Choice Original, Pastel Golden-Gray Patina, Substantial Eye Appeal, Fully Struck, Twin Lakes Collection. After submitting a large number of Liberty Seated coins to CAC, one learns quickly of the "CAC look" that captures strict originality and pleasing eye appeal. This lovely 1873 No Arrows Closed 3 half was an automatic CAC green bean as it possesses all the right attributes. Surfaces are unquestionably original with pastel gray-rose-gold and embedded aquamarine. Strike is completely executed. Mintage is reported to be 587,000 pieces with only ten pieces certified at the AU58 grade level by PCGS. CAC has only approved ten total in all AU grades. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.0 holder with CAC approval. A seriously wonderful new offering from the Twin Lakes Collection. There are many AU58 CAC collectors out there, therefore I don't expect this offering to last the Orlando FUN show. Bought at 2020 National Money Show in Atlanta.

The earliest coins minted in 1873 (Half Dollars included), had a 3 in the date that looked like an 8 because the loops of the 3 were so close together.  Later in the year, Mint engravers created new dies with corrected 3's. 

The 1873 No Arrows, Closed 3 Half Dollar is relatively common compared to other dates from the 1870's, and it is much more common than the Open 3 variant.  In addition, this date can be found in high grade.  The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census ranges from a low of MS-64 to a high of MS-65.
