In the early 1850's the value of silver increased relative to the value of gold. This resulted in an increase in the value of the silver content in coinage, the resultant hoarding of silver coinage and a scarcity of them for use commerce. The Coinage Act of February 12, 1853 attempted to reconcile this problem by reducing the weight of silver coins by ~7% (with the exception of the dollar). You Seated Liberty dime from it's inception through 1853 weighed 2.67 grams. The Coinage Act of 1853 reduced the weigh to 2.49 grams. Arrows were placed at the date from 1853 through 1855 to indicate the coin was of the newer (lower) weight. Your 1854 arrows at date dime is, obviously, a member of that group of reduced weight silver coins. Take a look at my other hobby ... http://www.jk-dk.art Edited by nickelsearcher 12/02/2024 12:17 pm Report this Post to the Staff
