If you are forming a high quality type set ,this exemplary Gem, one of the finest seen of this high demand issue, will fill the bill exactly.

The Arrows at the date signify a reduction in the silver content of the planchets, done in order to bring the face value of silver coins back below the silver melt value. Rarely are these early Liberty Seated half dollars found in such superlative grades, as they simply did not survive the generations so unscathed. This example is tied for the finest seen by NGC with at most two others. Numismatic Reflections by Q.
