Description
1853 Arrows and Rays Half Dollar, MS66
High-Grade Single-Year Type
1853 50C Arrows and Rays, WB-101, MS66 NGC. While Arrows and
Rays halves are relatively available in the better grades of About
Uncirculated and lower-end Uncirculated, there are very few truly
choice, upper-end Mint State examples known. All too often the
pieces seen are darkly toned or show indifferent luster. This
Premium Gem, however, displays thick Mint frost over finely grained
surfaces that are nearly free of marks large or small. Brilliant
mint luster survives beneath pale, lemon-yellow color and wisps of
faint gold toning on the sharply struck obverse and reverse. This
is an exceptional Arrows and Rays half -- one of the finest we have
offered in recent memory -- that is well within the Condition
Census as reported by PCGS or NGC. Census: 9 in 66, 0 finer
(10/25).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 572085, Base PCGS# 6275)
Weight: 12.44 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
