Description

1855 Arrows Dime, PR67 ★ Cameo
Tied for Finest Certified of the Issue

1855 10C Arrows PR67 ★ Cameo NGC. Only about 12 to 15 proof 1855 dimes are known, including this piece and a similarly graded example formerly in the Kaufman Collection (Central States Signature, Heritage, 4/2008, lot 2395). Known auction records comprise more than 40 appearances for the issue, starting in the early 20th century and continuing to the present day, mostly for coins grading PR60 to PR64.

As for most pre-1858 proof coins, there is no reported mintage figure for the 1855 Arrows dime, but our pedigree research indicates that about 12 to 15 survivors is fairly accurate; we can account for only 13 pieces, including that in the Smithsonian Institution.

This centrally brilliant Superb Gem is an absolutely stunning proof 1855 With Arrows dime, showing a splash of blue, russet, and violet at the upper obverse, and similar peripheral toning around the entire reverse. The obverse has faint striae slanting up to the left, crossed by other striae up to the right. A few insignificant planchet flakes, lint marks, and faint hairlines are present on each side. Nearly full details are evident, with star 13 a tad weak, and the upper right berry inside the branch mostly flat. The date, arrows, and several stars are boldly doubled, as Breen described in his Proof Encyclopedia: "Double date, first punched too far to right, then corrected; parts of all eight digits discernible." Census: 2 in 67 Cameo (1 in 67 ★ Cameo), 0 finer (3/16).
Ex: Central States Signature (Heritage, 4/2008), lot 2266, which realized $74,750; ANA Signature (Heritage, 10/2012), lot 3953.
