Coveted 1871-CC Dime, Fine 12

1871-CC 10C Fine 12 PCGS. Widely recognized as a key issue in the Seated dime series. The low mintage confirms the 1871-CC dimes general unavailability in all grades. This piece shows even wear over the high points of the design. The surfaces show minor porosity, most likely from having been struck from unalloyed Comstock silver rather than regular 90/10 coin silver. A couple of minor field marks are noted in the center of the reverse.(Registry values: N1793)
