Lot 2590
1873 Liberty Seated Dime. Arrows. NGC graded Proof 65. Nicely toned on both sides. Only 800 struck. A lustrous Gem that has exquisite surfaces and a very impressive strike, indeed, the meticulous detail on every device is, well, rather striking even for a Proof issue of this year. The arrows at the date were to allow the Treasury department to find and withdraw the "old tenor" pre Coinage Act of 1873 silver from circulation for reminting into coins issued at the new standard. Proofs were struck in limited numbers; only a handful of Gem Proofs remain. Pop 14; 8 in 66; 3 in 67.
Estimated Value $2,800 - 3,000.
