20cPR New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 10:08 am Hi everyone - trying to attribute a recent purchase. I purchased a nice (although may come back cleaned) 1854-O Arrows Liberty Half. Common date/MM, etc. - but I liked it because of the "missing" 1 and left arrow (there are the date halos too, etc.). I presume it is an error of some sort, and not a weak strike, because the denticles along the bottom of the OBV are intact and well struck, etc. Strike through error perhaps?

20cPR New Member United States 18 Posts	Posted 03/14/2024 2:36 pm Sorry @GMS5, I know better than that. REV pics here (since I really can't capture the entire coin in one shot with my rig, I captured 2x). Also added a shot of the OBV for more context. Report this Post to the Staff

R-4 = very scarce (population estimated at 76-200) of this particular die marriage. check the link and see the free PDF http://www.lsccweb.org/BillBugertBo...ertBooks.php Report this Post to the Staff

I will post more detailed pics in time. Specifically on the "missing" 1 and arrow -- I presume that this a strike through error, likely grease? Tx! Report this Post to the Staff
