Lot 1298
Glistening 1854-O Arrows Half Dollar PCGS graded MS 66. PCGS graded MS-66. One of the very finest graded of this important type coin. PCGS, for all their years of service and grading expertise, have only awarded this coveted "66" grade to 7 coins, with a single coin grading higher. And one can see why when a strong glass and light are used to pick this one apart. There simply aren't any signs of mishandling, no bagmarks cratering Liberty's face, no canals of hairlines in the fields, simply a dazzling array of unblemished luster. Sure, there are a few tiny ticks here and there, but far fewer than seen even on gems of this date. All is toned with a delicate golden halo around the edges, the center brighter. Similar color on the reverse, a bit of fiery sunset rose toning evenly distributed by decades of time. Boldly struck throughout, and a resounding gem in every regard.
