Here's one - the 'SC' on the reverse stands for 'seated coin'

 

In honor of Mr. Halfdime....one of his rejects.

 

Love those seated dollars

 

Time to revive this thread. New arrival. 800 minted.

 

This Variety 5, 1874 With Arrows completes my major variety half dollar type set.

Just for background, the major Red Book varieties of LS half dollars are:

Variety 1, 1839-1853: No Motto above Eagle, 13.36 grams.
Variety 2, 1853 only: Arrows at Date, Rays around Eagle, 12.44 grams. Weight reduced because rising price of silver caused melt value of Variety 1 halves to be greater than face value.
Variety 3, 1854-1855: Arrows at Date, No Rays. 12.44 grams. Theory I've heard is arrows were removed due to striking problems but cannot verify that.
Variety 1 Resumed with Weight Standard of Variety 2, 1856-1866: The arrows at the date were removed.
Variety 4, Motto above Eagle, 1866-1873: 12.44 grams.
Variety 5, 1873-1874: Weight increased slightly to 12.50 grams.
Variety 4 Resumed (arrows removed) with Weight Standard of Variety 5, 1875-1891: 12.50 grams

I will be replacing the 1844 which has been harshly cleaned with two sub-varieties; the No Drapery and With Drapery and in non-details grades.
