Eric P. Newman Collection, Part IX

1854 H10C Arrows -- Improperly Cleaned -- NGC Details. Unc. The Arrows, Stars Obverse type was issued only in 1853, '54, and '55, at the Philadelphia and New Orleans Mints.

Unnaturally bright patina with russet toning accents betrays an old cleaning. A few scattered abrasions are not bothersome. Ex: Eric P. Newman Numismatic Education Society.
