Gem 1874 With Arrows Seated Dime

1874 10C Arrows MS65 PCGS. The 1873 and 1874 With Arrows coinage design signified the weight change of our silver coinage during a time of fluctuation in the price of silver in the world markets. Much as the silver value of coins rose in the early 1850s after gold discoveries in California, resulting in an 1853 weight reduction, the price of silver dropped in the 1870s after discovery of significant silver deposits in Nevada. This necessitated an increased amount of silver in our coins in 1873. This is a sharply struck Gem with exceptional eye appeal. The satiny surfaces are brilliant and lustrous with wisps of peripheral gold toning. Few finer examples have been certified. Population: 18 in 65, 26 finer (9/04).(#4668) (Registry values: N2998)
