<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BooksB4Coins, post: 2003277, member: 36230&quot;]Here is a page from the original WB book regarding the 53-O (scroll down to read about the No Arrows examples, three of which were known at the time of publication):</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1853-o/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1853-o/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.davidlawrence.com/index.php/seated-half-dollars-1853-o/</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>As Kirk said, it&#039;s best to let go of any remaining hope that the coin is a genuine 53-O No Arrows: it simply is not. I too would have loved to see this one pan out, but this isn&#039;t the first time and probably isn&#039;t the last.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for a value of a contemporary counterfeit in this shape, there really will be no set value as generally speaking, many who collect such &quot;<i>coins</i>&quot; are likely to have little interest because of condition. However, considering what it purports to be, it is possible, even likely that this would be your saving grace. To put it simply, it is worth something, particularly to the right person if indeed this is what it is, but you are <i>not</i> looking at a great deal of money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
