1873-CC 50C No Arrows
SKU: 53742021
Own a true centerpiece from the legendary Carson City Mint with this 1873-CC Liberty Seated Half Dollar, the desirable “No Arrows” type, certified by PCGS as MS67 (Cert #57595931). Struck at the height of America’s silver-coinage era, this issue represents the final year of the “No Arrows” design before weight-adjustment arrows were added later in 1873, making it an important transitional collectible for type and date-mint collectors alike.
This premium Mint State example showcases the classic elegance of the Liberty Seated series with remarkable preservation and eye appeal. Expect crisp strike definition across Liberty’s seated figure, the shield, and the peripheral stars, complemented by bold reverse detail in the eagle’s feathers and shield. The surfaces display vibrant original silver character, with attractive luster and nuanced toning that may present in soft champagne, dove-gray, and golden highlights depending on light and viewing angle.
Why this coin stands out
Iconic “CC” mintmark from the storied Carson City Mint, a perennial favorite among collectors
1873 “No Arrows” type, a historically significant one-year design moment before the mid-year weight change
High-grade PCGS MS67 certification for confidence, liquidity, and long-term collector demand
Strong crossover appeal: Liberty Seated specialists, Carson City enthusiasts, and high-grade type set builders
Historical and collector significance
Carson City coinage embodies the romance of the American West—silver from the Comstock region transformed into federal coinage at a mint that produced comparatively limited output. The 1873-CC “No Arrows” half dollar sits at the intersection of Western mint history and a pivotal year in U.S. coinage, offering both narrative value and enduring market desirability.
A standout acquisition for a serious Liberty Seated collection or an elevated type set, and an impressive gift-worthy rarity for anyone drawn to the history and craftsmanship of 19th-century American silver.
