1855 Arrows Half Dime, MS66+
Conditionally Rare, CAC

1855 H10C Arrows MS66+ PCGS. CAC. The half dime was subject to the weight reduction of subsidiary silver coinage in 1853, being reduced from 1.34 grams to 1.24 grams. The weight reduction was denoted by the placement of arrows on either side of the date. The Arrows type was produced from 1853 through 1855. In 1856, the arrows were removed from the dies but the weight remained at the lighter 1.24-gram level. Arrows coins struck from 1853 to 1855 are popular with type collectors today. The 1855 is generally plentiful in low grades, but this Premium Gem is a rarity, and PCGS lists only a single coin finer. This piece is one of the top four 1855 half dimes with CAC approval. Luster glistens in satiny lilac and champagne hues, complementing the well-struck design elements. Neither side has significant abrasions. Population: 23 in 66 (3 in 66+), 1 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 1 finer (11/20).(Registry values: N2998)
