Description
1874-CC Dime, XF45
Key, Low-Mintage Issue
1874-CC 10C Arrows XF45 PCGS. The 1874-CC Arrows Seated dime
(which is redundant, really; there were no 1874-CC No Arrows dimes
made, but the distinction is a useful one for type collectors) was
minted in the tiny amount of 10,817 pieces, and today it completes
what Rusty Goe calls the "Fearsome Foursome" of low-mintage Carson
City issues from the beginning of the series. (Actually, it could
be called a "Fearsome Fivesome" if one includes the unique 1873-CC
No Arrows dime.) The 1874-CC had the lowest mintage of all Carson
City dimes and is the key to the entire set, including all
mintmarks. Rusty Goe writes in The Mint on Carson Street
that Uncirculated examples are typically well-struck, but
lower-grade coins usually have "rougher surfaces, with various
levels of porosity." Many examples are damaged in one way or
another, showing graffiti, rim dings, or polishing. Not this piece,
however. Even friction is seen over the high points of the design,
an light golden color is seen on each side with no detracting
marks.(Registry values: N4719)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23BL, PCGS# 4669, Greysheet# 4127)
