Description

1873 10C Arrows PR67 NGC. The shift in weight for dimes to 2.5 gm was the last such change for the denomination until the end of 90% silver coinage in the United States. To mark the occasion, the Mint resurrected the arrows it had used for the last substantial change in weight; the arrows lasted just two years in the 1870s, compared to three in the 1850s. While both sides of this incredible Arrows proof dime show pleasing mirrors and frost on the central design elements, the piece falls just shy of Cameo contrast. It is impressively appealing nonetheless with subtle hints of golden toning near the rims. For the contrast designation, Census: 3 in 67, 0 finer (6/08).
