1853 Arrows Dime, MS67
Light Attractive Toning

1853 10C Arrows MS67 PCGS. CAC. The weight of Seated half dimes, dimes, quarters, and half dollars was reduced in 1853. Arrows were added to the date on those denominations that year to distinguish the coins from their heavier predecessors. The new tenor coins were needed in commerce, since those denominations had been hoarded since 1849 due to the rise in the price of silver relative to gold, an imbalance caused by the California Gold Rush. The present Superb Gem is lustrous and virtually pristine. The strike is good, and the double-clashed surfaces show light honey-gold and rose-red toning. The date and arrows are hubbed on much of the issue, including the present lot. Population: 18 in 67 (1 in 67+), 4 finer. CAC: 6 in 67, 2 finer (11/23).(Registry values: N1)

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