3122: 1873 10C Arrows, F-102, R.4, PR67 S NGC. The Min
1873 10C Arrows, F-102, R.4, PR67 S NGC. The Mint struck 500 proof dimes with the Arrows design in 1873, which was implemented to reflect a minuscule increase in silver weight. Collectors would be hard-pressed to locate an example of this two-year type with better eye appeal. A band of multicolor rainbow toning hugs the obverse borders and the lower reverse, while the remaining surfaces retain their brilliance. The strike is good and contact marks are nonexistent. Census: 4 in 67 (1 in 67+, 2 in 67 S), 0 finer (6/20). Ex: Jason Carter to Gene Gardner (5/2012); Eugene H. Gardner Collection, Part III (Heritage, 5/2015), lot 98279; Central States Signature (Heritage, 4-5/2016), lot 4581; Summer FUN Signature (Heritage, 7/2016), lot 3809; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2017), lot 3700.
