Description
1855-O Arrows Half Dime
Beautifully Preserved Gem
1855-O H10C Arrows MS65 PCGS. CAC. V-1A. A thin die crack
connecting star 7, the head, star 8, the cap, and stars 9-13
identifies the later die state of this sole die variety. This issue
being produced in New Orleans no doubt accounts for its scarcity in
high grades (Breen describes this issue as being "very rare in Mint
State"), as Southern coinage circulated extensively and was seldom
set aside for future collectors. It likely also accounts for the
die rust (from a pitted die), as the New Orleans climate was
hazardous to the surfaces of steel working dies. The moderately
toned surfaces of the piece here offered exhibit varying shades of
golden-gray, violet, and sea-green toning. This is a well-struck,
attractive example of this scarce O-mint issue. Population: 9 in
65, 2 finer (5/14).Ex: Pittsburgh Signature (Heritage, 8/2004), lot 5632.
