1873. Arrows. NGC graded Proof 66 Cameo. Fully struck and fully brilliant white. Only 800 struck. Since a vibrant and highly lustrous Gem whose rush of brilliance shows this has exquisitely preserved surfaces, it should come as no surprise that both sides were struck with methodical precision throughout. Proof Seated Dime coinage prior to 1880 was struck using the Mints venerable screw press which gave a satisfying result from a smooth "squeeze" upon the dies when the upper die came down with accelerating force yet precision upon the lower die. Like its Stars Obverse predecessor, the Proof Legend Obverse Seated Dime series spans two noncontiguous time periods. The latter type was produced in the Philadelphia Mint from 1860-73, and then again from 1875 through the series' end in 1891. (The brief gap was due to the addition of arrows on both sides of the obverse date in 1873-74 in order to signify a slight weight increase for the denomination.) Examples of this With Arrows type are the most desirable Proof Legend Obverse Seated Dimes in today's market, and they are eagerly sought by collectors and investors alike. Pop 3; 3 finer, 2 in 67, 1 in 67 Star. Estimated Value $6,500 - 7,000. Ex The Kenneco Collection. Categories: Seated Liberty Dimes
