Description
1874 Liberty Seated Dime. Arrows. MS-66 (PCGS). CAC.
Phenomenal quality and eye appeal for this short lived, conditionally challenging design type. Bursting with satiny mint luster, both sides are further enhanced with natural gray-green, gold, and lilac iridescence. The strike is equally full in all areas, and with silky smooth surfaces the validity of the premium Gem grade is assured in our minds. As with their counterparts from 1853 to 1855, the Liberty Seated dimes with Arrows of 1873 and 1874 carried that distinguishing feature to denote a change in the weight standard for the denomination. In the case of these later issues, the weight was increased slightly from 2.49 grams to 2.50 grams by the Act of February 12, 1873. The Arrows coinage of 1873 to 1874 is more challenging to locate in Mint State than its predecessor from the mid 1850s, and the 1873 Philadelphia Mint issue is rarer than its 1874 counterpart in the finest grades. Indeed, this exquisite MS-66 is among the highest graded at PCGS, and it an impressive offering that is sure to excite advanced type collectors and Liberty Seated dime specialists alike.
PCGS# 4668. NGC ID: 23BK.
PCGS Population: just 20; 15 finer through MS-68+.
