Lot 2270
1853 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows and rays. NGC graded MS-65. An extremely difficult type coin to locate in full gem grades, the arrows and rays combination was used for just a part of 1853. This particular example shows glowing sunset colors on both the obverse and reverse with a natural gray tone elsewhere. Sharply impressed by the dies, with full stars and details on Liberty. We note the reverse die shows clash marks both below and above the eagle's wings. NGC has graded only 16 this high, and 7 higher (all MS-66), while PCGS has graded only 14 this high and 3 higher. An impressive example of this important type coin for the specialist.
Estimated Value $10,000 - 12,000.
