1855-O Arrows Half Dime, MS67+
The Sole Finest PCGS Certified
CAC Gold; Ex: Gene Gardner Collection

1855-O H10C Arrows MS67+ PCGS. Gold CAC. Ex: Bender Collection. The rusted and lapped obverse die is extensively cracked, adding interest for the die state collector. Heavy die cracks through Liberty's head join all the stars, left and right, with other die cracks present on the obverse. In contrast, the reverse die appears perfect with no cracks, lapping, or clash marks.

This Superb Gem is the finer of two PCGS-certified MS67 examples of the 1855-O half dime. The NGC Census suggests two numerically finer examples, but the present piece is one of those and was previously certified MS68★ at NGC. The other piece has not appeared in the marketplace since 2005.

The obverse displays brilliant and frosty mint luster while the reverse has a satiny appearance. Both sides feature exquisite gold, sea-green, blue, and violet toning that create extraordinary eye appeal that the gold CAC sticker confirms. Population: 2 in 67 (1 in 67+), 0 finer. Gold CAC: 1 in 67, 0 finer (3/23).
