Discover the exceptional 1874 10C Arrows Liberty Seated Dime, a true gem of numismatic history and an essential addition to any serious coin collection. This remarkable piece, graded as PCGS AU Details and expertly cleaned, captures the essence of a transitional period in American minting, making it a prized possession for both dedicated collectors and casual enthusiasts alike.
Minted in Philadelphia, this 1874 Dime stands out with its distinctive arrowheads pointing inward on either side of the date. These arrows were intentionally integrated into the design to signal the increase in weight from the version minted in 1873, thereby setting it apart from older, lighter coins. Such modifications were instrumental in addressing public concerns and stabilizing the national coinage system.
The Liberty Seated design, featured prominently, is a testament to the artistic and cultural values of late 19th-century America. Lady Liberty is depicted seated majestically, holding a shield in one hand and a pole with a Phrygian cap in the other, symbolizing vigilance and freedom. The delicate patina of the coin exhibits beautiful shades that attest to its enduring charm and historical significance, ranging from subtle silver hues to more subdued greys.
This coin is particularly notable for its relative scarcity in high grades such as MS67 and above, with the most exemplary piece being a stunning PCGS MS68+. For the discerning collector, the 1874 With Arrows Dime represents an opportunity to own a piece of history that combines numismatic rarity with aesthetic excellence.
