<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 87337, member: 66&quot;]I have seen one fake of a 53 no arrows and rays half, but it was made by altering a with arr &amp; rays half.&nbsp; The greater weight of this piece eliminates that possibility.&nbsp; I would closely compare the shape of the the 3 with that found on a known genuine coin, and the top of the 2 on an 1852 half.&nbsp; My guess is that an 1852-O has had the date altered and the mintmark removed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I would be willing to buy it if it were cheap (just as a novelty), or possibly buy it if the seller can get it certified.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
