1874 10C Arrows PR (PCGS#4770)

Spring 2023 U.S. Coins Auction

详细说明: 1874 Liberty Seated Dime. Arrows. Proof-65 (PCGS). Pewter-gay patina overall with mottled olive-russet and, around the reverse periphery only, steel-blue overtones. Undertones of vivid blue, gold, red and pink are discernible at direct viewing angles - a further boost to the eye appeal. 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, with the result that Proofs are often selected for inclusion in high grade type sets. This is an uncommonly well preserved survivor from a Proof mintage of 700 pieces that is sure to please the discerning numismatist.
