Select 1853-O No Arrows Half Dime

1853-O H10C No Arrows MS63 PCGS. CAC. The port city of New Orleans had an unceasing need for coinage in the years leading up to the Civil War, and as a rule, the pieces produced there circulated rather than sitting in vaults. This makes a number of silver issues, particularly those struck before the weight adjustment of 1853, rarities in Mint State. The 1853-O No Arrows, the last of those issues, is among the most elusive, its mintage of 160,000 pieces having experienced considerable attrition. The present Select coin is a distinctly high-end survivor, boldly impressed with warm gold-orange patina and hints of blue and green over strong and appealing luster. Population: 1 in 63, 5 finer (6/09).(Registry values: N4719)
