1853 Arrows Dime, PR66+
Finest at PCGS, Ex: Kaufman/Gardner

1853 10C Unhubbed Date and Arrows, F-101, R.8, PR66+ PCGS. CAC. This is the finest certified 1853 proof Arrows dime at PCGS (6/16), previously from the Kaufman and Gardner collections. While the number and timing of proof strikes has long been debated, it is generally agreed just five Arrows and two No Arrows proof dimes were manufactured.

All genuine proofs show a diagnostic die lump above Liberty's right breast, and a smaller, less noticeable one near the right elbow. Proofs always display die clashing and spikelike artifacts beneath Liberty's chin -- apparently, an unfinished area of the die.

Each side of this Premium Gem proof dime exhibits boldly struck design elements and deeply mirrored fields, along with a melange of medium-intensity champagne toning splashed with whispers of aqua-blue, brown, and violet. The obverse shows slightly lighter hues than the reverse. This well-cared-for specimen displays pleasing overall eye appeal, appropriately recognized by CAC.
