Description

1853 50C Arrows and Rays MS65 NGC. A one-year type coin that combines arrows beside the date, with a glory of rays around the eagle. Among its best attributes is the sharp strike with bold obverse and reverse details. The depth of the strike brings up light clash marks in the fields. These clash marks, as well as obverse and reverse die cracks, indicate that the die pair was nearing the end of its useful life. Both sides have ivory luster with full mint frost, accompanied by blue, gold, and iridescent toning near the borders. Census: 27 in 65, 16 finer (1/08).
