Description

1875-CC Mintmark Below Dime, MS65
Rich Outer Toning

1875-CC 10C Mintmark Below Bow MS65 PCGS. CAC. Fortin-108. Rich olive, green-gold, and bronze outer toning dapples toward the interior, yielding to medium-gray centers. Though the strike shows a degree of softness, particularly at the lower reverse, the all-around eye appeal is solid.

Variety: Fortin-108, with a high date sloping down. The reverse is an earlier state than Fortin's first confirmation, cracked only at the lower right and not through the mintmark or elsewhere on the periphery.

Population Data (4/15): PCGS lists 10 examples in MS65 and one MS66 finer. One of five in this grade with the CAC green approval sticker.

Heritage Commentary: Among 1875-CC dimes, the Mintmark Below varieties collectively are scarcer than their Mintmark Above counterparts and command a small but significant premium.

Provenance: Purchased from Robert Hughes (12/2005).(Registry values: P3)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23AD, PCGS# 4674, Greysheet# 4130)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
