Lot 769
1854-O. Arrows. PCGS graded MS-66 PQ. CAC Approved. Well struck with lovely light blue toning on both sides. This is one of the more breathtaking Seated Half Dollars of any year or type that bidders will see auctioned, and it is in a small elite group of similarly graded 1854-O Arrows delivery. The surfaces are virtually blemish-free, the luster smooth with not even a single detracting spot or other post-striking occurrence in evidence. Both sides are dripping with original mint luster, attractive satin sheen at all angles. The overall impression is full and well above average for a representative of this somewhat poorly struck O-mint issue. Finally, this coin is originally toned with shimmering iridescence; the otherwise deep frost amplifying the colors. The type collector or portfolio buyer seeking a stellar representative of this important two-year type need look no further than this beautiful MS66 Gem. Pop 12; 2 finer, 1 in 66+, 1 in 67 (PCGS # 6280) .
Estimated Value $18,000 - 19,000.
