Lot Description

1853-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. No Arrows. V-1. EF-40 (PCGS). This handsome and fully original piece exhibits dominant olive-gray patina on the obverse, the reverse with splashes of bolder steel-blue to a base of pewter-gray. The date is faint -- characteristic of the issue -- but all four digits are at least partially discernible, and otherwise we note suitably bold definition for the assigned grade. Much scarcer than its identically dated Arrows counterpart, due to both a more limited mintage (160,000 vs. 2,200,000 coins) and the undoubted loss of many examples through melting. PCGS# 4352.
