$2750 		Key Date, Crusty Surfaces, Choice Original. The 1853-O No Arrows issue represents a key date in the Liberty Seated half dime series, especially as one approaches the mid-circulated grades. Indeed, after the 1846, the 1853-O No Arrows easily ranks as the second most challenging coin in the group. This piece reveals mixed silver-gray color with deeper patina at the rims. The reverse is more deeply shaded, and the in-hand viewing is better than indicated by the images. The obverse is superb for the grade, with only honest wear, and the next owner will not be disappointed. As typical, weak strikes are the rule for this issue, with the date nearly effaced. V-1, with a downward sloping date and repunching in the mintmark. PCGS notes nine coins in EF40, with 19 examples finer, a remarkably low number given their 38 years of operation.
