Description
1878-CC Dime, MS66
Only 200,000 Pieces Produced
1878-CC 10C MS66 PCGS Secure. CAC. Type One Reverse. The E
in DIME is die doubled. While the previous three years had
generous, multi-million piece mintages, the 1878-CC dime was
reduced to only 200,000 pieces. Output of minor coinage was
restricted because of the concentration on Congressionally
mandated, large silver dollar production. Examples are scarce in
circulated grades, and Uncirculated pieces, especially higher
graded ones, are very rare. This is a wonderful, flashy example.
The fields show a confirmed deep reflectivity and the devices are
heavily frosted. The reverse fields were heavily striated, most
likely to eliminate either die clash marks or slight die breaks.
The surfaces are brilliant throughout and there are only the
slightest marks. Population: 3 in 66, 1 finer (8/10).From The Bob Simpson Collection of Seated Dimes.(Registry values: N1)
