A key date in the series, only 18,791 1873-CC Arrows Seated Liberty Dimes were minted for circulation. Of those, only two are currently known in Mint State condition, including the one in this sale: an example graded NGC MS 65 (lot 3532). The arrows surrounding the date indicate a slight increase in weight of the dime to comply with new legislation calling for metric weights for the nation’s coinage.
