1874-S Arrows Dime, Micro S, Toned MS66
Very Rare at This Level
Above-Average Strike

1874-S 10C Arrows MS66 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-101. The lustrous surfaces of this Premium Gem display peach-gold and soft purple toning around the obverse border, transitioning to subtle grayish-violet in the center. The latter color palette dances randomly with splashes of orange-gold, electric-blue, and crimson on the reverse. The design elements are well-struck, including above-average definition on Liberty's head. A well-cared-for coin.

Variety: Fortin-101, R.4. The Micro S variety, with the mintmark showing as a tiny filled blob.

Population Data (7/14): The present offering is one of the three finest at PCGS. NGC has seen two Premium Gems and one MS67 finer.

Heritage Commentary: The 1874-S Arrows dime, from a relatively small mintage of 240,000 pieces, is scarce in all grades. Mint State pieces are rare, especially in Gem and finer. John McCloskey discusses the 1874-S dime in the July 1986 Gobrecht Journal.
