Description

1853 With Arrows Half Dime, MS67
None Numerically Finer

1853 H10C Arrows MS67 NGC. V-2a. A splendid Superb Gem, this 1853 With Arrows half dime displays an impeccable, bold strike and brilliant silver luster beneath gold, blue, and iridescent toning.

Variety: V-2a. The date is high with the 1 touching the base of LIBERTY, and the other digits progressively lower, from left to right.

Population Data (7/14): NGC has certified 15 examples in MS67 and eight in MS67 ★ . PCGS reports five MS67 and one MS67+. Neither service reports any finer in MS68 or higher.

Consignor Commentary: If there is such a thing as Low R.1, this date is it. More than 13 million minted and hundreds slabbed in all grades, including 29 MS67s, of which this is one. And quite a pretty one, with the surfaces resplendent in orange and blue toning. No one has ever been brave enough to undertake a study of the various dies, but for the record, there are several die cracks on the reverse. One links the tops of ATES; another runs from the dentils grazing past the left side of the first A in AMERICA; and, finally, one progresses from the left ribbon diagonally towards the rim.

Provenance: Purchased form Bonnie Sabel of U.S. Coins (3/2004).(Registry values: N4719)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 233Y, PCGS# 4356, Greysheet# 3779)

Weight: 1.24 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
