Description

1873-CC 10C Arrows AG3 PCGS. A highly desirable example of this key date. The surfaces are delightfully clean, with a pleasing layer of gray patina. The left side of the obverse displays an irregular wear pattern, leaving only the OF AMERICA fully visible, as well as the date, arrows, and mintmark. One of the rarer Carson City dimes with a mintage of 18,791 pieces, from the year of the Crime of '73 when Congress demonetized silver and moved to the gold standard. (Registry values: N991)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23BH, PCGS# 4666, Greysheet# 4125)
