1853 Certified No Arrows Short Set - Cross Your Fingers For Me...

[texasrichard]

I've agreed to purchase the last coin (P-HD) I need to complete my "short set" of 1853 No Arrows Coins. For the year 1853 there were actually 5 different "No Arrow" coins. The "No Arrow" Half Dollar is unachievable due to price and rarity... just 3 known. This has been quite a project for me not only from the money side, but from just being able to find coins that can be certified as many of the remaining coins are problem coins, and the few certified examples that there are don't change hands often. In fact assuming the half dime "P" slabs; 3 out of the 4 coins were actually submitted from raw coins during the process of me putting the set together. The NA "P" Half Dime is being submitted by the dealer I agreed to purchase it from and my hope is that it will slab and be certified by PCGS somewhere in the 30 - 40 range. My thanks go out to all who've helped me and those who've tried to help me on completing this goal. Don't let the fact that these aren't "high end MS monsters" lead you to think that a "certified 1853 NA short set" is an easy task... it isn't. Wish me luck on the "P" half dime. I would love to finally complete this part of the 1853 year set. Thanks and comments good or bad welcome. I still have much to learn.

Those population stats really jump out. As for grade and eye, they happen to be in my favorite grade range and have nice character to them.

 

Good luck and well done!
