Coveted Choice VF
1873-CC Arrows Dime

1873-CC 10C Arrows VF35 PCGS. LIBERTY is bold on this cream-gray Choice VF Arrows representative. Wear is even and moderate, and the only remotely mentionable mark is a thin line on the left (facing) thigh. Arrows were added in 1873 to denote a minor weight change to the metric standard. This change led to the rarest Carson City variety, the unique 1873-CC No Arrows dime, presumably saved from the smelter for the annual meeting of the Assay Commission. The 1873-CC is one of only two Carson City Arrows dates, and the other issue (the 1874-CC) is even rarer. A mere 18,791 pieces were struck, and most survivors are well circulated or impaired. Population: 6 in 35, 8 finer (3/09).(Registry values: N2998)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23BH, PCGS# 4666, Greysheet# 4125)

Weight: 2.49 grams
