HALF DOLLAR 1854-1855 Arrows Only

Description

The Liberty Seated Half with arrows at date and ray on the reverse design was modified in 1854 by dropping the rays on the reverse but retaining the obverse arrows. Coins were struck at the Philadelphia, New Orleans, and San Francisco mints, the latter mint began production in 1855.

Valuation

Uncirculated pieces are scarce, and superb uncirculated pieces are scarcer yet, although they are not nearly as rare as comparable examples from 1853.
