The Regency Auction 51

详细说明: High end, beautiful, lustrous, and original: these are just a few words that come to mind when we view this awesome with Arrows Seated half dollar. A vibrant, velvety satiny glow flows from the lustrous fields on both sides. Pearly silver-gray surfaces are kissed with a blush of golden russet that is mostly visible at the extreme peripheries. The details are all fully and sharply struck up, the dies clearly coming together with a precision blow. The obverse die was partially shattered, with a number of dramatic die cracks on the left side of the obverse. There are zero imperfections worthy of noting and the eye appeal is excellent. With the huge influx of gold entering the economy during the California Gold Rush, the value of silver, relative to gold rose, leading to the export and melting of silver coin. In 1853, the weight of silver coins (except for the silver dollar) was reduced, and the change was denoted by placement of arrows at the date and rays on the reverse. Due to striking issues, the rays were removed in 1854, but the arrows remained next to the date through 1855. PCGS 16, NGC 6. The current PCGS Price Guide value is listed at $12,500. There are just five examples graded finer at PCGS, and they are prohibitively expensive, we sold a 66+ for $37,600 and a 67 sold for $45,600. This GEM has a bold look and offers a great value. Good luck. Cert. Number 42140316 PCGS # 6280
