Pleasing Key-Date 1873-CC Dime, XF40

1873-CC 10C Arrows XF40 PCGS. The 1873-CC Arrows, with a mintage of 18,791 coins, is one of the key dates to the Seated Liberty dime series. Brian Greer, in his Seated Liberty dime reference, says the issue is "slightly more available in Good to VF than the 1871-CC, but more difficult to find in higher grades." Greer also notes that examples are "usually found with problems or porous surfaces."
Medium gray patination in the fields highlights the motifs on this problem-free XF40 example, that take on lighter gray hues. Aside from light wear on the highpoints, the design elements display sharp detail. Close examination reveals no mentionable blemishes on either side. The fine die crack that shows on all genuine pieces goes through the mintmark. Population: 2 in 40, 3 finer (7/07).
