1872
.
NGC graded Proof 65 Cameo
. A later proof striking,
as the head of Liberty is not quite complete. A brilliant white
proof example, save for a couple of small areas of reddish-gold
color on each side. A total of 950 proofs were struck.
Pop 5; 12
finer, 8 in 66, 4 in 67
.
Estimated Value ..............................................$1,000 - 1,100
1190
1872-CC
.
NGC graded VF Details, Damaged.
A recent find
that had been buried in the ground of many years. The surfaces
are pitted and porous, and a sizeable mark is near the center of
the obverse. Still, a classic rarity from the Carson City Mint and
date that is desirable in virtually any grade. One of 35,480
pieces struck.
Estimated Value ................................................... $600 - 700

1873. No Arrows, Closed 3
.
PCGS graded Proof 67
Deep Cameo
. Fully brilliant with fully rendered design
motifs and a high, sharp wire edge. The devices are heavily
frosted and the fields are deeply mirrored resulting in a
remarkable Deep Cameo effect overall. Without question,
the finest Deep Cameo Proof of the date certified by PCGS.
All No Arrows proof dimes exhibit the Closed 3 style. Excep-
tional quality for the grade with surfaces that stand up eas-
ily to close examination.
Pop 1; none finer at both
services.

1874. Arrows
.
PCGS graded Proof 66 Cameo
. The
1874 dime is an important and short-lived Arrows type coin.
Both sides present a "just struck" appearance being fully
snow-white without any spots or discoloration. The devices
are well frosted and contrast nicely against the deeply mir-
rored fields. As expected of the grade, no marks or hairlines
are seen, even with light magnification. The Philadelphia
Mint only issued 700 proof dimes for the year, many of
which have been damaged and/or cleaned. Many collectors
require With Arrows coins, therefore pressure is always
high when a splendid example such as this one appears for
sale.
Pop 1; none finer at both services.

1874. Arrows

PCGS graded MS-63
. Nicely toned but

1876
.
PCGS graded MS-66
. Sharply impressed with no men-
tionable abrasions. An original appearing example with attrac-
tive multicolored iridescence at the border areas.

finer, 1 in 66+, 3 in 67.
