- 1853 Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows and Rays. WB-101. MS-62 (PCGS).
Rather sharply struck for this short-lived type issue, with the bold arrows at the date to signify the slight reduction in silver content in these. The rays seen in 1853 were dropped in 1854 as this feature caused the dies to crack quickly and fall apart. Die life in fact had dropped by about one-third in 1853 no doubt straining production as so many more dies were needed than if previous years. This particular coin is toned an even pewter gray on both sides with a touch of sandy gold iridescence at the peripheries.
PCGS# 6275. NGC ID: 24JJ.
