Wonderful PR65 Cameo 1854 Arrows Seated Dime

1854 10C Arrows PR65 Cameo NGC. As Breen describes the issue in his 1989 Proof Encyclopedia, "All digits and arrows touch base, 54 touch each other. About as rare as the smaller silver." Although unmentioned in Breen, heavy obverse diagonal die striations or die polishing lines run from northwest to southeast, most visibly a bold line crossing underneath the left arrow about two-thirds of the way toward the point. This delightful silver-white piece shows considerable field-device contrast, if a trifle short of an Ultra Cameo designation. There is no discernible color on either side. A tiny, dotlike planchet flake appears in the obverse left field, near to Liberty's arm between stars 2 and 3, a future pedigree identifier but completely undistracting. The strike is expectedly bold, and the visible contact is so minuscule that the piece appears high-end for the assigned grade. Only a single PR66 Cameo at NGC is finer than the present piece within the Cameo designation, and a single piece at PCGS is a PR65 Cameo, with none finer in any designation (6/08). A wonderful example of this popular type.
