***Auction Highlight*** 1874-cc Arrows Seated Liberty Dime 10c Graded au50 details By SEGS. 0 Boldly defined in the absence of all but light wear, this handsome piece is layered in warm, slightly mottled, steel gray patina. Wispy abrasions are largely confined to the central reverse field, and most are well concealed by the toning and not outwardly distracting. The obverse is overall smooth, and the amount of remaining detail is truly impressive in an example of this elusive and conditionally challenging issue. The details designation is due to a minor rim issue I believe. The original mintage of 10,817 pieces had a rather dismal survive ratio with a mere 50 to 80 pieces known today. The Carson City Mint issues of this period tended to circulate hard, as there was great need for them in commerce, so precious few were saved and high grade examples are particularly difficult for collectors to obtain. This issue has earned its way to the top of rarity list for Liberty Seated dimes, and is the rarest of the obtainable issues struck. While the 1874-CC is still quite expensive for most collectors, one can be obtained with patience in lower grades. This great AU-50 details example will no doubt be a major centerpiece of an advanced collection of this series, and will induce great envy from any collector who has the privilege to even view this handsome and desirable rarity.
