1853 Arrows Dime, MS67
Highly Collectible, Short-Lived Type

1853 10C Arrows MS67 PCGS. CAC. Pursuant to the Mint Act of February 21, 1853, the federal government reduced the weight of the dime from 2.67 grams to 2.49 grams. To signify this change, Mint Director George N. Eckert decided to place arrows on both sides of the date on all new-tenor coins. This practice continued through 1855 and created an important type coin that is highly popular with modern collectors.

This satiny specimen displays a modest cartwheel sheen and otherwise silky-smooth surfaces. Razor-sharp from rim to rim, the strike does not leave any of the design elements incomplete. Peripherally toned in deep shades of golden-russet and cobalt-blue, both sides exhibit the mark-free surfaces that typify the Superb Gem grade. Although relatively available in MS65 condition, this issue's population drops off drastically as one ascends into the stratosphere of Mint State grade levels. Population: 16 in 67 (1 in 67+), 4 finer. CAC: 6 in 67, 2 finer (3/23).(Registry values: N1)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 2398, PCGS# 4603, Greysheet# 4045)
