Description

1874 Arrows Dime, MS67
Richly Toned, Superior Preservation

1874 10C Arrows MS67 NGC. In 1873, the weight of dimes was increased from 2.49 grams to 2.50 grams, resulting in arrows being placed at the date of the many of the 1873 and all of the 1874 Seated dime issues. This seemingly trivial weight change was made to conform to metric measurements. While the branch mint coins are scarce to rare in all grades, P-mint representatives are encountered with enough frequency to serve as type coins for most collectors. This status does not, however, apply to the present Superb Gem. This coin exudes both originality and well-preserved surfaces.

Both sides are richly frosted and free of the most trivial abrasions. One tiny planchet void is noted in the reverse field over the O and N of ONE. In addition to its technical superiority, this coin's original toning scheme also places it ahead of most all 1874 Arrows dimes that we have handled recently. Areas of deep emerald-green, magenta, and dusky-gold color are noted over the otherwise silver-gray surfaces. A conditionally rare type coin of singular beauty. One of only 11 MS67 examples certified at NGC (5/17) with two finer.
