1874 Arrows Dime, Stunning PR67
Ex: Simpson Collection

1874 10C Arrows, F-101, PR67 ★ NGC. Ex: Simpson. This is a spectacular Superb Gem proof example of the second series of Arrows proof dimes put out by the U.S. Mint, these in 1873-1874. The surfaces on this Star-designated piece display enormous eye appeal, due to their bold strike, pristine preservation, and beautiful patina in shades of aqua, mint, and copper-gold prevailing on both sides. The Fortin-101 sole proof dies (which were also extensively reused for circulation strikes) can be readily identified by a wedge-shaped die defect at Liberty's cleavage and minor repunching above the feet of the 4 in the date. This piece is tied with one PR67 at PCGS and one other (non-Star) example at NGC for numerically finest graded (11/15).
Selections from The Bob R. Simpson Collection.
