Lot Description

1853-O Liberty Seated Half Dime. Arrows. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC. OGH. The weights of dimes, quarter dollars, and half dollars were reduced in 1853 and arrows on each side of the date were added to the obverse in order to indicate this change. This is a charming piece with somewhat fiery champagne-orange, lilac and electric blue toning over vibrant semi-prooflike surfaces. Sharply struck and well preserved, as befits a Gem-graded example. Simply lovely! PCGS# 4357.
