Superb Type Candidate, Brilliant Reflective Luster, Attractive Peripheral Toning, Hammered Strike. A distinctive 1853 With Arrows half dime that would be ideal for type given a host of positive reasons. First on the list is sharp reflective luster during angled lighting review. I was a bit surprised that the luster was so reflective and not satiny given the heavy die erosion and metal flow lines. This little near-gem rocks under bright light. Second is the irresistible aquamarine and gold peripheral toning. Finally, the strike is hammered. Accurately graded without a trip to CAC during the prior collector's ownership and GFRC. A JUST BUY IT NOW recommendation is in the cards as I know the buyer will be thrilled with this piece upon arrival. GFRC images simply do not do this one justice. Housed in PCGS Gen 6.1 (2020-2022) holder. December 1969
