Description
1874-CC Dime, AU53
Problem-Free, Original Toning
1874-CC 10C Arrows, F-101, R.4, AU53 PCGS. On February 12,
1873 Congress passed the Mint Act of 1873. In an effort to
facilitate the universal circulation U.S. coinage, the Act included
a provision for a minute increase in the weight of the dime,
quarter, and half dollar such that one dollar in subsidiary silver
coinage weighed 25 grams. Thus, the weight of a dime increased
indiscernibly from 2.49 grams to 2.5 grams. Chief Engraver William
Barber added arrows flanking the date to reflect the change, as had
been done in 1853 to indicate a decrease in silver weight. The
design was used in 1873 and 1874. The Carson City Mint manufactured
a paltry 10,817 1874-CC With Arrows dimes, making it one of the
most elusive and sought-after dates in the Seated Liberty series.
Most of the surviving examples are low grade, and many others have
problems of one sort or another. This is not such a piece. The
devices are well-defined with original russet and deep gray toning
over each side. The few abrasions that are present are well
concealed beneath the toning. A rare opportunity for the
specialist. Population: 2 in 53, 6 finer (11/17).Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 538347, Base PCGS# 4669)
Weight: 2.49 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
