1853 50C Arrows and Rays MS65 NGC.
1853 50C Arrows and Rays MS65 NGC. The 1853 is a highly desirable one-year type Seated Half Dollar with arrows at the date and rays on the reverse added to indicate a weight reduction from 13.36 grams to 12.44 grams. While numerous coins were saved as curiosity pieces in the 19th century, very few Gems have survived. In fact, only 22 pieces have been so graded by NGC with 13 finer (11/03). This particular coin is almost brilliant, that is to say, it lacks the heavy toning that is so often seen on this issue. Sharply struck throughout, the silver-gray surfaces are devoid of any noticeable marks. The only ripples in the fabric of this coin are a couple of tiny milling marks on the obverse; one on Liberty's thigh, the other in the upper left obverse field between stars 5 and 6. These are very minor and are mentioned only as future identifiers. Population: 22 in 65, 13 finer (11/03). Important notice: Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid.
