Conditionally Rare 1874-S Arrows Dime, MS66

1874-S 10C Arrows MS66 NGC. Throughout the various series of U.S. coins, certain issues have become known as condition rarities. This term refers to a relatively common coin that is rare or even extremely rare when above a certain grade level. Such is the case with this 1874-S Seated Liberty dime. As a date, 1874-S is a scarce issue from a mintage of 240,000 coins. In Gem quality the issue is extremely rare, and the present coin is one of the best that has been certified. The surfaces have frosty luster with pale champagne toning. A planchet flake is noted in the right obverse field, this mentioned only as a future identifier. The reverse has several light die cracks through the wreath. Census: 3 in 66, 1 finer (2/09).
