Description
Amazing Gem Proof 1854 Arrows Half Dime
1854 H10C Arrows PR65 NGC. It was not until 1858 that proof coins were struck in appreciable numbers for collectors. Any proof coin prior to that date is a rarity with few survivors. In the case of the With Arrows coinage of 1853 to 1855, those dated 1853 are essentially non-existent in proof, leaving only the 1854 and 1855 dates as available issues for collectors today. This broad comment holds true for all denominations of silver coins. The present piece is a splendid Gem proof with sharp design details on both sides. Dusky golden-brown shadings across each side show occasional elements of blue. A mild cameo effect on the reverse hints at what once might have been strong contrast. Census: 4 in 65, 2 finer (6/08).(Registry values: P3)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 235S, PCGS# 4432, Greysheet# 3893)
Weight: 1.24 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
