Congress adjusted the silver content of the country's minor coins (half dimes through half dollars) with the Coinage Act of 1853. The Mint placed arrows at the sides of the date in 1853 to denote this weight change, as well as a spray of sun rays behind the eagle. The rays were removed for 1854's production, however (PCGS # 6275) .
