1854-O. Arrows

. Well struck with lovely light blue toning on both
sides. This is one of the more breathtaking Seated Half Dol-
lars of any year or type that bidders will see auctioned, and
it is in a small elite group of similarly graded 1854-O Arrows
delivery. The surfaces are virtually blemish-free, the luster
smooth with not even a single detracting spot or other
post-striking occurrence in evidence. Both sides are drip-
ping with original mint luster, attractive satin sheen at all
angles. The overall impression is full and well above aver-
age for a representative of this somewhat poorly struck O-
mint issue. Finally, this coin is originally toned with shim-
mering iridescence; the otherwise deep frost amplifying the
colors. The type collector or portfolio buyer seeking a stel-
lar representative of this important two-year type need look
no further than this beautiful MS66 Gem.
