1853 Half Dollar Round. Breen and Gillio-435, Low Rarity 5. Arms of California. PCGS graded MS-63. PQ. The obverse displays the Arms of California, Minerva seated with a bear at her feet; the reverse has a defiant eagle similar to that seen on Augustus Humbert's famous fifty dollar gold "Slugs."

This is the classic rarity and key to the entire series of California Fractional gold coins, and an important opportunity for the serious California gold specialist.
