Description
Appealing 1855 Arrows Dime, PR64
1855 10C Arrows PR64 NGC. Whether the number of 1855 Arrows proof dime survivors is closer to the two dozen projected by Walter Breen in his Encyclopedia of United States and Colonial Proof Coins or the 16 pieces certified by NGC and PCGS, few would dispute that this prewar proof issue is a genuine rarity. The near-Gem specimen offered displays light champagne and gold-gray patina, along with well struck devices. On the obverse, the date exhibits the repunching that has been known for years, as well as the more recently discovered doubling on Liberty's shield. Though a handful of hairlines in the fields preclude a Gem grade, the overall eye appeal of this dime cannot be denied. Census: 5 in 64, 2 finer (3/09).From The Joseph C. Thomas Collection.
