<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Publius2, post: 4855316, member: 105571&quot;]I&#039;ve been looking for an 1854 or 55 Liberty Seated Half with Arrows (no rays) for my Type Set for some time now and recently picked up this variant of the type - the 1855 over 4 overdate.&nbsp; These overdates are far scarcer than the more common examples of the variety.&nbsp; PCGS lists 14 in MS and 102 examples in all grades.&nbsp; So, why not fill the hole with a more interesting example?</p><p><br /></p><p>This one is in a PCGS slab, graded AU-55.&nbsp; It has pretty obviously been dipped at some point in the past but has not retoned.&nbsp; The surfaces are almost proof-like.&nbsp; I have attached closeups of the date.&nbsp; The first shows the crossbar of the underlying 4.&nbsp; The second shows the underlying 8 and you can also see where the first 5 has been repunched.</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, there is a clash extending down from Liberty&#039;s right forearm that looks like an eagle wingtip but I haven&#039;t tried an overly yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone knows of a reference for the three die varieties of this date, would you mind sharing it?</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1172442[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1172443[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1172444[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
