<B>1873 50C Open 3, No Arrows VF30 PCGS.</B></I> The Philadelphia Mint struck more than 2 million halves in 1873, but the vast majority of those were the Arrows variety. Of the remainder, most featured a Closed 3. The Open 3, No Arrows variety was struck during the narrow window after the introduction of the Open 3 and before the addition of arrows. The variety is very rare in all grades, despite a suspiciously high published mintage of 214,200 pieces. This is a richly detailed slate-gray example that has a number of faded obverse field marks. Housed in a green label holder. Population: 2 in 30, 7 finer (2/08).<BR><I>From The Yoder Family Collection, Part One.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
