1853 PCGS XF$% Arrows CAC

The 1853 Arrows Half Dime marks an important transitional year in U.S. coinage. In response to rising silver prices, the Mint reduced the weight of silver coins, adding arrowheads to each side of the date as a visual identifier. This short-lived design feature appeared only in 1853 and 1854, making it a sought-after type among collectors. Struck at the Philadelphia Mint, the issue is known for its charm and historical significance, bridging early Seated Liberty coinage with later refinements.

This PCGS XF45 example, endorsed by CAC for its quality within the grade, offers crisp detail and pleasing surfaces that reflect honest circulation without distractions. The arrows are sharp, Liberty’s figure is well-defined, and the overall eye appeal makes it an excellent representative of this classic type. For collectors building a type set or seeking a premium mid-grade piece, this example stands out as both historically important and aesthetically appealing.
