Description

NGC 1855-O Arrows MS 64. A die crack connects star 7, head, star 8, cap, and stars 9-13. Breen notes this issue as being "very rare in mint state." The fact that this coin originally was produced in New Orleans no doubt accounts for its scarcity in high grade, as Southern coinage circulated extensively and was seldom set aside. It also probably accounts for the die rust (from a pitted die), perhaps from having been struck later in the calendar year from dies that rusted quickly in the Mississippi Delta air. Blythe rates all mint state pieces as MS 64, and this is certainly a condition census item at this level. Bright mint luster underlies the rich multiple layerings of gray-olive and rose-golden patina that cover both sides. Population: 6 in 64, only 2 are finer.
