1878-CC 10C MS65 认证号27454168, PCGS号4686

In 1878, the Carson City Mint struck the last Dimes it would ever produce.  As a "going-away" present, the Mint dropped the mintage of the Dimes to a mere fraction of those of the preceding years, this making the 1878-CC the sixth smallest mintage out of nine dates (counting each of the two types of 1873).  Thus, the 1878-CC Dimes enjoys strong demand from collectors of products from this popular Mint.

In Mint State, the 1878-CC Dime is scarce and expensive but not inaccessible.  Grades above MS64 are truly rare, and the finest example is a remarkable PCGS MS68 (most likely the Eliasberg coin).
