Appealing 1853 Arrows and Rays Half Dollar, MS63 PCGS

1853 50C Arrows and Rays MS63 PCGS. The Arrows and Rays design was only produced in this one year, making this a key coin for those assembling a type set. The arrows and rays were added by the Mint under the Act of February 21, 1853 to denote the reduction in weight to a point at which melting would no longer be profitable. The example offered here shows lustrous silver-gray surfaces that veal sharply struck design elements. Inconsequential, minute marks on Liberty's temple, cheek, and arms limit the grade. A very nice looking coin for the grade!(#6275) (Registry values: N2998)
