Rare 1871-CC Dime, Fine 12 PCGS

1871-CC 10C Fine 12 PCGS. The Carson City Mint did not produce Dimes in its introductory year, and only 20,100 pieces were struck in 1871. These coins were needed in circulation, since the west eschewed Fractional Currency and Mexican silver was no longer legal tender. Survivors when encountered tend to be in well worn grades. LIBERTY is bold on the present coin, and although the devices have noticeable wear, some definition within the drapery and wreath is still evident. Original battleship-gray and tan colors bathe the moderately marked surfaces. Handling marks at 12 o'clock on the obverse and below the IM in DIME are mentioned primarily for pedigree purposes. Population: 2 in 12, 12 finer (9/04).(#4654) (Registry values: N1793)
