Exceptional Key Date 1873-CC Dime With Arrows, XF45

1873-CC 10C Arrows XF45 PCGS. The 1873-CC with Arrows is one of the key dates in the Seated Liberty dime series. When found, examples usually grade from Good to Very Fine; higher grade pieces are difficult to locate. Of the approximately 80 specimens certified by PCGS and NGC, about 60 or so grade from Fair 2 to VF20; a mere three Mint State coins have been seen.
The Choice XF example in this lot displays light gray fields that highlight silvery devices that are nicely defined. Both sides are remarkably smooth and clean, a refreshing change from what is typically found on surviving examples that usually have porous surfaces, or other problems (Brian Greer, The Complete Guide to Liberty Seated Dimes). The collector putting together a set of Seated dimes should give this Choice coin serious consideration, as a comparable piece may not come along for some time. Population: 2 in 45, 2 finer (12/07).(Registry values: N2998)

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

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
