<B>1854<10C> Arrows MS67 NGC.</B></I> In an effort to replace the millions of dimes that the California Gold Rush had driven out of circulation and into the melter, the Philadelphia Mint inaugurated a program of increased production in 1853 that would continue through 1857. The Seated dimes produced in 1853 (most of them), 1854, and 1855 carried arrows on the obverse--a feature that signified the weight reduction as specified in the Mint Act of February 21, 1853. Survivors of all three of these P-mint Arrows productions are among the most plentiful in the entire Seated dime series, at least in worn and low Mint State grades.<BR> The luster is complete over both sides with a moderately frosted texture and just a hint of color on the obverse. Every device is fully struck, and the only worthwhile pedigree marker (indeed, the only abrasion that we can find) is a tiny obverse scrape in the upper left field. Noticeable clashmarks are seen on both the obverse and reverse. A no-questions Superb Gem for the type collector who demand the utmost in technical quality and aesthetic appeal.
