oih82w8 Pillar of the Community United States 7840 Posts	Posted 02/24/2012 2:38 pm According to Numismedia, the only 1853 Half that did not have Arrows & Rays was made in New Orleans. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1853-SEATED...em2c63450519 ...unless it is one the ones that got away, but I doubt it. Kinda funnt that the sellers mentions that "arrows are visible" in the description. Edited by oih82w8 02/24/2012 6:02 pm Report this Post to the Staff

biggfredd Rest in Peace United States 9104 Posts	Posted 02/25/2012 06:36 am Here are the pix, doubled in size: Notice that the areas where the arrows and rays were have been smoothed in the pix (not the coin itself), also the bottom of the shield, mm, etc. Other areas, like around the stars, are pixelated from enlarging, but still different shades in small increments.

Quote: MOST OF THE SHIELD LINES ARE VISIBLE ON THE REVERSE EAGLE. NO ARROW VISIBLE ON THE OBVERSE The weird thing is, it appears he doctored a pix of a 53O A&R. Why remove the O?
