Lot 457 - 1855 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows NGC MS65
1855 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. Our consignor, Franklin Dean, certainly loves colorful toning, and you will too if this 1855 is any guide. An unabashedly original example of this brief two-year design that is sharply defined everywhere including the stars and a all of the eagle's feathers. The obverse is framed in original russet gold to amber and steel blue toning which is also noticed about the reverse. Struck in much smaller numbers than its 1853 and 1854 predecessors and the two New Orleans issues featuring arrows at each side of the date, the 1855 Arrows half dollar is legitimately scarce in any Mint State grade but especially prized in MS64.
