This was done to discourage the hoarding and melting of silver coins that became popular (and profitable) during the California Gold Rush era. Due to the vast majority of gold being mined on the U.S. West Coast, the value of silver reckoned in gold increased on the world market to the point where old-tenor Dimes became worth more as bullion than as circulating coinage. In order to denote this weight reduction, the Mint placed arrows at both sides of the date beginning after February 21, 1853 and continuing through 1855. Since they were struck during the era before the Mint began widespread marketing of proof coins, specimen strikings of the 1853-1855 Arrows Dime were produced in very limited quantities. All three dates of this short-lived type and rare in proof format, and survivors enjoy strong demand among both advanced type collectors and numismatic investors.Store CategoriesStores HomeColonialsHalf CentsLarge CentsSmall CentsTwo-Cent PiecesThree-Cent SilversNickelsHalf DimesDimesTwenty-Cent PiecesQuarter DollarsHalf DollarsSeated DollarsTrade DollarsMorgan DollarsPeace DollarsOne Dollar GoldTwo Fifty GoldThree Dollar GoldFive Dollar GoldTen Dollar GoldTwenty Dollar GoldCommemorative GoldThree-Cent NickelsOther
