Description
1874 Arrows Dime, Colorfully Toned MS67
An Excellent Type Coin
1874 10C Arrows MS67 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-107. A melange of
variegated multicolored toning cascades over the intensely lustrous
surfaces of this stunning Superb Gem. The obverse displays swaths
of electric-blue, apple-green, gold-orange, lavender, violet, and
reddish-gold. Blushes of electric-blue, crimson, mauve, and
bluish-gray adorn the reverse. Well-struck design elements and
impeccable preservation round out the coin's outstanding eye
appeal.Variety: Fortin-107, R.3, attributed by repunching under the left base of the 4 digit (repunching under the 1 digit does not show clearly on the present coin), the left arrow distant from the flag of the 1 and pointing upward, and slight softness in the denomination.
Population Data (7/14): PCGS has graded seven MS67 (including one MS67+) and three MS68 (including an MS68+). NGC has seen eight MS67, one MS68, and an MS69.
Heritage Commentary: Arrows were placed at the date of 1873 and 1874 dimes to denote their increase in weight in an attempted conversion of U.S. coinage to the metric system. These dimes, like their 1853 to 1855 With Arrows counterparts, are popular as type coins.
Consignor Commentary: Fortin lists 16 different die combinations for this date, and the variations can be quite subtle. But in the case of this coin, it seems to be a perfect match for a Fortin-107. Not an especially rare date, even in Gem, but this coin is just marginally in the Condition Census. The coin boasts good luster and colorful toning with no marks or distractions of any kind.

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23BK, PCGS# 4668, Greysheet# 4070)
