1872-CC Seated Dime, Good 4
A Key Series Rarity

1872-CC 10C F-101, Low R.4, Good 4 ANACS. Ex: Navy Mustang. Carson City dime production in 1872 nearly doubled 1871 totals with 35,480 pieces struck, and this issue is marginally more plentiful than its earlier counterpart. Yet, AU and better 1872-CC dimes are rarer than the 1871 issue from this mint, and low-grade pieces are arguably more difficult to find with anything approaching attractive surfaces. The present coin is an excellent option for the old-fashioned collector of Carson City coinage, representing the typical look of this difficult date without compromising to obtrusive impairments. Slight weakness around portions of the rims contributes to the grade, as does heavy wear on the wreath, although a portion of LIBERTY remains visible on the obverse. Each side is uniformly deep olive-gold and lilac-gray in color.
From The Navy Mustang Collection.
