1854-O Liberty Seated Half Dollar. Arrows. WB-1. Rarity-2. MS-65 (PCGS). CAC.
A sharply struck and intensely lustrous Gem to represent this brief subtype within the Liberty Seated half dollar series. It also offers original toning in iridescent champagne-apricot and powder blue that delivers outstanding eye appeal. The distinct Arrows, No Motto half dollar type of 1854 to 1855 was created when the Mint decided to drop the rays from the reverse design, keeping the arrows that were added in 1853 to denote a weight reduction. The 1854-O is a popular type issue of this design. However, this New Orleans Mint half dollar is a noteworthy rarity at and above the Gem MS-65 grade level. The present Condition Census example is worthy of an aggressive bidding strategy.
