Not Sold Description
1874-CC Seated Liberty Dime, AU Details
Rare Key Date, Arrows Type
1874-CC 10C Arrows--Improperly Cleaned--NGC. AU Details.
From a tiny mintage of 10,817 pieces, the 1874-CC Arrows dime is a
sought-after date that is seldom encountered without surface
problems. The planchets may have been improperly prepared using
unalloyed Comstock Lode silver. To quote Brian Greer regarding the
1874-CC Arrows dime in his Complete Guide to Liberty Seated
Dimes:"The unquestioned key to the series (excluding the uncollectible 1873-CC No Arrows). Rare in any grade, and probably a full R6 in problem-free condition. Very few mint state pieces exist. Under intense demand and currently bringing well in excess of Trends prices, when available."
The present coin displays bright surfaces (possibly from cleaning), under dark gray patina, with underlying hints of red that appear when angled under a light. The surfaces are slightly porous, as often seen on this issue, and three planchet flaws are visible as lines in the right obverse field.(Registry values: N7079)
