Yes, it's the "Variety 3-Arrows at Date". It was struck at the Philadelphia & New Orleans Mints.
Please tell me the denomination of the coin - that is, is it a dime, quarter, half-dollar, etc. I will be able to relay its value once I am aware of its denomination and mint state.
Because the value of it is worth half the value of a dime.

Correction to the below responsePlease check your coin's date and post a new, separate question. Arrows weren't added to half dimes until 1853. All 1845 half dimes had blank space on either side of the date.Most coins show heavy wear and have retail values of $14.00-$25.00 better grade coins are $50.00 to over $100.00 depending on grade.
Assuming no arrows or a mint mark in "good" retail is $25.00-$35.00

An 1853 half dime with arrows is typically more valuable than one without arrows. The arrows were added to denote a slight change in weight to combat hoarding during the time and are considered more desirable by collectors.

The guides I have access to only show grades of G-4 and better. However, 1853 half-dimes can be worth a moderate amount even in that low condition, so a fair to poor grade may still have some value as well. Retail quotes for a G-4 as of 11/2008 are as follows. A coin in fair condition may rate about half these numbers. No arrows at date, no mint mark: $26 No arrows, "O' mint mark: $225 Arrows at date, no mint mark: $15 Arrows at date, "O" mint mark: $16
From $25-$350US depending on condition.
The 1853 is a Variety 2, it has arrows at the date & rays on the reverse the value depends on grade and mint mark. The price range is $30.00 in G-4 to over a $1000.00 in MS-60. Please consult qualified professional for this coin.
The US discontinued its half-dime denomination in 1873.
Please check your coin again and post a new, separate question. No half dimes were minted at San Francisco until 1863.
