1874-CC 10C Arrows Good 4 NGC
<B>1874-CC 10C Arrows Good 4 NGC.</B></I> The 1874-CC issue concludes a four-year run of challenging Carson City dimes, and it is on the high side of a collecting difficulty scale that runs from the 1872-CC (available for a price) to the 1873-CC Without Arrows (unique). As Rusty Goe notes in his <I>The Mint on Carson Street</B></I>, "Throughout the decades the annual rare coin auction circuit has historically offered one 1874-CC dime per year, and some years not even one. Buyers are lined up to compete at every given opportunity."<BR> The heavy attrition that took its toll on this issue is evident on the present piece, a significantly worn example that shows a number of linear abrasions on the reverse. At Liberty's shield, the letters of her name are missing, though the ribbon across the shield is still distinct. Deep blue-gray predominates in the fields, while the devices show paler cloud-gray coloration. Overall, an attractive coin for the grade, and an important opportunity for the Seated dime collector. Census: 1 in 4, 7 finer (2/08).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Christian Gobrecht<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Coins & Currency (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
