1853-O Arrows and Rays Half Dollar, MS64
Very Rare in This High Grade

1853-O 50C Arrows and Rays, WB-101, Die Pair 15, R.4, MS64 PCGS. A die crack joins stars 10 and 11, another crack runs through the second A in AMERICA, and diagonal die lines appear in the drapery below Liberty's elbow. The New Orleans Mint struck more than 1.3 million Arrows and Rays half dollars in 1853, the only year for this design. This near-Gem is richly toned in shades of violet, blue, and orange. The obverse motifs are remarkably sharp, while the reverse devices exhibit typical softness on the eagle and rust lumps throughout. PCGS reports seven submissions in MS64 and one coin finer for all varieties (10/17).
