Description
Rarely Encountered MS65 1853 Arrows and Rays Half
1853 50C Arrows and Rays MS65 NGC. The 1853 is a desirable one-year type Seated half dollar with arrows at the date and rays on the reverse added to indicate a weight change from 13.36 grams to 12.44 grams. While numerous coins were saved as curiosity pieces in the 19th century, very few Gems have survived. In fact, only 27 pieces have been so graded by NGC with 15 finer (5/08). This particular coin is almost brilliant, that is to say, it lacks the heavy toning that is so often seen on this issue. Sharply struck throughout, the steel-gray surfaces are devoid of any noticeable marks. The only ripples in the fabric of this coin are three light grease stains: one through the 5 in the date, another on the lower portion of the shield, and the third across a couple of the rays above the A in HALF.From The Aspen Collection.(Registry values: N7079)
