53edo has only 5 pairs of inconsistent intervals in the full 27-odd-limit: {11/7, 14/11}, {[[17/11]], [[22/17]]}, {[[19/17]], [[34/19]]}, {[[21/11]], [[22/21]]}, and {[[23/22]], [[44/23]]}. This is perhaps remarkable compared to 8 pairs in 46edo and 11 pairs in 41edo, because the smallest edo after 53edo to get 5 or less inconsistencies in the 27-odd-limit is [[99edo]] (using the 99[[wart|ef]] [[val]]), followed by [[111edo]] ([[patent val]]), [[130edo]] (patent val) and [[159edo]] (also patent); all of these get 5 inconsistencies as well except 159edo which gets 1 and which is itself a superset of 53edo. However, most interpret the approximation of prime 17 in 53edo as too off for all but the most opportunistic harmonies, and some question the 23 and possibly also 11, so the practical significance of this is debatable.

As shown below, there is also a cluster of usable higher primes starting at 71; even 89 (4.84{{c}} flat), 97 (4.63{{c}} sharp) and 101 (2.6{{c}} sharp) are usable if placed in just the right context. (Note that prime 67 is almost perfectly off.)
