1873-CC 50C Arrows AU50 认证号20577495, PCGS号6344

WB-7, R-4, 76-200 extant. WB-7, With Arrows, Open 3, Large CC, Repunched 1. Comment from Gerry Fortin and Len Augsberger: Choice Original, Cumberland County Collection. Frosty devices contrast with the surrounding surfaces, creating a cameo appearance on this Carson City piece. Moderate cartwheels reveal iridescent luster, imparting a variety of color as the piece is tilted. WB-7, with date placed far to the right and a small lump at the upper left corner of N in the scroll. A strong strike sharply renders the stars, while the reverse exhibits characteristic softness in the eagle's left leg. A couple lines in the upper left obverse field are noted. The Carson City half set is composed of ten issues, and the Cumberland collection represents an important opportunity to pursue examples from this highly desirable run of lower-mintage issues. Housed in a PCGS Gen 4.4 (2005-2011) holder. Bought from GFRC auction of the Cumberland County Collection. Comment from Heritage auction August 14, 2011 Chicago Signature US Coin and Platinum Night Auction where coin sold for $3,737.50: WB-103. Large CC. Light autumn-gold and blue-green toning visits this minimally abraded Carson City type coin. The devices exhibit slight wear, but luster dominates the borders, eagle, and Liberty. Fully original and nicer than the typical example, which grades VF. Population: 13 in 50, 40 finer (6/11). Comments from "A Guide Book of Liberty Seated Silver Coins" by Q. David Bowers: These are slightly scarce in uncirculated grades (~1,000 +/- extant). Years ago Larry Briggs helped a collector assemble a hoard of these that eventually numbered 200 with Large CC and 201 with Small CC mintmarks. This group is now widely dispersed in the marketplace. This issue has both Large and Small CC mintmark varieties, WB-3 through WB-8 with five obverse and two reverse dies. From the Carson City Daily Appeal newspaper, Carson City, July 23, 1873: "Dies for the stamping of half dollars and a new set of test weights came to the Mint yesterday. The new regulation half dollar is to be something heavier than the old one; and it is to have a device indicating its weight- reversed arrow heads on each side of the date". I submitted to CAC and the attempt at getting a green bean failed.
