1873-CC Dime, VF35
One of the Keys to the CC Series

1873-CC 10C Arrows VF35 PCGS. The 1873-CC Arrows dime is among the key issues from Carson City in the Seated Liberty series. It is a tad more available than the 1874-CC Arrows dime, which has now become established as "the key" to the set. Rusty Goe writes in The Mint on Carson Street that:

"The survival rate for this date seems to parallel the percentages for the 1871-CC, 1872-CC, and 1874-CC dimes; numerous researchers (Breen, as an example) have placed their survival estimates at 1% of the original mintage. In relation to current (2003) populations, it seems reasonable to lower that estimate to perhaps one-third to one-half of 1%."



This example displays even wear over each side with deeper gray surfaces that are slightly accented by pale gray patina over the high points of the design.(Registry values: N2998)
