***Auction Highlight*** 1853-p Arrows & Rays FS-801 DDR Top POP Seated Half Dollar 50c Graded ms63 By SEGS. Up for Auction is a TOP POP, the single finest known example of the One Year Type coin, the 1853-p Arrows Rays, FS-801, DDR. A very sought and Ultra Scarce Variety. To Date PCGS has certified None Finer than au58, NGC has certified 2 at the ms62 Level, but these might bethe same coin, and This is the Highest certified ever by SEGS, or ever to surface anywhere. It is a wildly double reverse with the strongest doubling being seen on the words UNITED and STATES as well as the leaves in the Eagles Talon. The coin itself is a handsome Choice Mint State example that displays smooth surfaces layered in pinkish-silver, pale rose, dove gray, and light gold toning. The strike is sharp throughout and the luster is soft and satiny. It is a One Year type coin as the Mint added the arrows and rays to signify the reduction in silver content, but The reverse design proved to be too highly detailed for efficient coinage operations, however, and the rays were dropped in 1854, creating a one year type. We anticipate keen bidder interest when this lovely FINEST KNOW FS-801 DDR example crosses the auction block. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
