1854-O 50C Arrows MS67 NGC. Heavy halos around the dat
<B>1854-O 50C Arrows MS67 NGC.</B></I> Heavy halos around the date give the appearance of doubling, and with the digits 54 touch, this example matches the description of Breen-4852, although it is not certain that such an attribution is correct. One would be hard pressed to find a more original representative of this important Seated half dollar type, and examples that rival it in technical quality are also rare. The strike is among the strongest that we have seen on an 1854-O Arrows half. Every feature (the obverse star centrils and the eagle's right leg on the reverse included) is fully brought up, this despite a shattered obverse die as evidenced by numerous cracks around the periphery. One of these cracks bisects Liberty's head, and another extends from the eagle's beak to D of UNITED. Blushes of powder-blue and orange-russet patina are sprinkled over otherwise silver-gray surfaces. Fully frosted with remarkably smooth and abrasion-free features for the issue as well as the type. A faint and certainly not distracting obverse planchet streak over and before Liberty's legs is noted for pedigree purposes. Census: 1 in 67, 2 finer (11/06).<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coin/Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
