Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1854-O Dime has an even larger mintage than that of the 1853-O, yet it also has the second smallest mintage of the With Arrows type. Nonetheless, Mint State 1854-O Dimes can be found with relative ease (usually in MS63 to MS64). Gems are rare, particularly above MS65. The finest examples are some NGC MS67's.

Researcher Gerry Fortin has identified twelve different die varieties for this year. One of the more interesting varieties is Fortin-106, which features a heavily shattered obverse die (this die could not have lasted very long, thus making the Fortin-106 variety very rare).

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.
