Lustrous 1855-O Arrows Half Dollar, MS64

1855-O 50C Arrows MS64 PCGS. The lustrous surfaces of this near-Gem O-mint half display a mix of low to medium intensity multicolored toning resting over both sides. A well executed strike brings out sharp definition on the design features, and just a few minute obverse ticks define the grade. "Halos," often found on this issue, are visible around the stars of this specimen. The halos around these devices were explained by Wiley and Bugert (1993) as the result of coinage dies being used as temporary master dies to create additional dies. The outlines around the various design elements represent the base of the punch being transferred to a new working coinage die.(Registry values: N2998)
