Description

1853 Arrows Dime, Toned PR66
The Sole CAC Example in This Numeric Grade
From the Kaufman Collection

1853 10C Arrows PR66 NGC. CAC. Both sides of this Premium Gem proof dime exhibit 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.

Variety: Fortin-101. The Fortin website states: "From an inspection of an 1853 With Arrows Proof dime at the 1996 ANA convention, several diagnostics were recorded. There is a die defect above the right breast and another defect on the left elbow. Obverse die is clashed." The die defect above the right (facing) breast is readily apparent on the present offering.

Population Data (5/14): The PCGS website estimates only four to five proof 1854 Arrows dimes known. NGC lists a total of six grading events for the issue, including three in PR66 (almost certainly duplications), one in PR65, and two in PR63. PCGS records a single example in PR61. Our Auction Archives lists seven appearances since 1993 when the Archives was developed: two PR63, three PR65, and two PR66. Our PR66 offering is the sole example in this numeric grade with the CAC green approval sticker

Heritage Commentary: Breen estimates five proofs struck for the 1853 Arrows dimes. This is a reasonable estimate considering the information provided in the certified population reports and in our Auction Archives (see above).

Provenance: Phil Kaufman Collection Part One, ANA Signature (Heritage, 5/2007), lot 1784; purchased from Bill Nagle (10/2012).

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23CE, PCGS# 4742, Greysheet# 4196)
