1873-CC Liberty Seated Dime. Arrows. PCGS graded Fine-12. A key date for the Seated dime series, only 18,791 were struck and few were saved. Most are in far worse condition than this, and this date is known for usually being found with porous planchets. Not so here, the planchet shows very little of the usual porosity, a hint of which is on the obverse at the top. LIBERTY remains sharp on the shield, and the color is a natural steel gray. On the reverse, the rim remains fully separated from the edge, and the only complaint is an old pin scratch extending from the bottom of the wreath through the top. This coin gets a lot more expensive in higher grades, so this piece offers a lot of detail for the money.
