<B>1853 50C Peacock Reverse 50 Cents, BG-302, Low R.4, MS62 PCGS.</B></I> The second edition of Breen-Gillio credits Art Kagin with the nickname "Peacock Reverse." The glory of rays behind the eagle does resemble a peacock's plumage, but the eagle's tail feathers are also present beneath the arrow. The 1853 Arrows and Rays quarters and halves may have been the actual inspiration for the design. A smooth straw-gold example with subdued reflectivity and a minor obverse lamination near 2 o'clock. Certified in a green label holder.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
