Stupidly priced compared to the 1853 Half Dime from Philadelphia, which had a Mintage six times larger, yet typical "retail" values are the same. Compared to the 1853-O NO Arrows Half Dime, which is very scarce and commands a 10X price premium even in Good, the surviving population of this coin is surprisingly low and indicates a lack of saving in the area when issued. As a comparison, the 1853-O No Arrows has an estimated survival of something over 100 coins in all grades per CoinFacts, versus about 400 for the 1853-O With Arrows, despite a Mintage for the Arrows coin about 11 times larger. I would say that makes this a "sleeper". 0116-09

This seller has enabled "Manual Invoice Approval" on their account. This means that after you complete checkout, you will NOT be automatically redirected to PayPal (if applicable) and will not be able to complete payment immediately. Instead, the seller will review the invoice and may, or may not, add or subtract additional charges, as explained in their policies and/or listing description. When the invoice is updated and approved by the seller, you will receive an automated email notification later, and you will be able to pay the updated invoice as you would normally.
All checks must clear prior to payment of purchase, which may take up to 12 Business days. IF YOU CHOOSE TO PURCHASE MULTIPLE ITEMS, PLEASE WAIT FOR AN INVOICE PRIOR TO PAYMENT. I combine all shipping charges to the minimum necessary to get purchases to the customer. Please be aware that the USPS has recently increased postage for package shipments and Insurance - $7-$9 for shipping may look like a lot, but it barely covers my actual cost. If you have any questions, just ask.
