1853 Liberty Seated Half Dime. No arrows. PCGS graded MS-66 Premium Quality. One of the very finest of this rare date to survive, this particular coin boasts deep blue peripheral toning and rich golden hues near the centers. Fully struck by the dies, with bold details on Liberty and the stars, similar on the reverse which shows no weakness whatsoever. PCGS has graded 5 this high, with just 2 coins graded higher of this date, from the mintage of a scant 135,000. We note a thin die crack through the lower digits of the date, and another at the top of the cap extending each direction towards the stars. Similar on the reverse, with a few light cracks to the tops of the letters and main device points. If you want a truly stunning coin for your collection, then check out this one.
