Lot Description

Elegant 1855-O Arrows Liberty Seated Half 1855-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-101. MS-66 (NGC). Incredible satin quality is seen on both the obverse and reverse of this enticing coin. The strike is sharp throughout and the surfaces are virtually pristine, as little more than a few scuffs appear under a strong loupe. Fully lustrous and generally light silver with pale gold patina throughout. A short-lived type coin with the Arrows at date. There are traces of die rust on Liberty's head and neck, and heavy die file lines through MER of AMERICA. This example is tied as one of the finest seen of this date and mint by NGC and will be a welcome acquisition for the advanced specialist. PCGS# 6283. NGC Census: 6; none finer.
