Description
Elegant MS67 1874 Arrows Dime
1874 10C Arrows MS67 NGC. The weight of minor silver coins was increased only marginally in 1873. The dime went from 2.49 grams to 2.50 grams. Unlike the more dramatic tenor change in 1853, the 1873 modification was not made because of a change in the gold-silver value ratio; instead, the mint director wanted to use more convenient metric weights. As in 1853, arrows were added to the date to indicate the change in weight. 1874 is the second and final year of the two-year Arrows, Obverse Legend subtype. Nearly 3 million pieces were struck, and Uncirculated examples are always available, but few Superb Gems are known. This brilliant and satiny example is unusually smooth, and the strike is sharp throughout. Census: 4 in 67, 2 finer (1/08).From The Southwest Collection.(Registry values: N1)
