Superb Gem 1854 Arrows Half Dime 1854 Liberty Seated Half Dime. Arrows. MS-67 (NGC). CAC. A must-have design for inclusion in a complete type set of classic United States silver coinage, the With Arrows Liberty Seated half dime was produced for only three years from 1853 through 1855. The Philadelphia Mint issues dated 1853, 1854 and 1855 account for the majority of coins struck and the great majority of Mint State survivors. Indeed, locating an example that falls into the MS-60 to MS-64 grade range should prove to be a relatively easy task under normal market conditions. The type as a whole is conditionally scarce in MS-65, however, and coins that grade MS-66 or finer are very rare and can be challenging to acquire. A simply outstanding representative, this 1854 is fully Superb in quality and solidly in the Condition Census for the issue as well as the type. Virtually flawless, the surfaces are silky smooth without a single worrisome blemish. We do note faint die polish lines in the fields, but these features are as struck and they were imparted by the same process that gave the coin a modest satin finish. The devices are set apart with more of a frosted texture. They are fully struck in all areas save for isolated areas over the rims. Bright, brilliant, and destined for inclusion in a fine type set or specialized Liberty Seated collection. Numismatic Reflections by Q. David Bowers This is not a rare issue at all in Mint State, especially around the MS-63 to 65 level, but at the present level becomes an exceptional condition rarity. PCGS# 4358. NGC Census: just 4; 0 finer. The corresponding PCGS is only 1/0.
