Mintage: 18,791                                                                     

Scarcity: One of the key dates within the Liberty Seated Dime series.  In circulated grades from G through VF, this 
date is very scarce and becomes rare in EF.  In Mint State, this date is excessively rare with few examples known to 
exist. As with all Carson City dimes from 1871 through 1874, the challenge remains in finding examples that are 
problem free, as most come with varying levels of porosity.
 
Updated Greer Rarity Ratings
Overall Rarity: G-VG R4+, F-VF R5, EF-AU R6-, MS R7+       
    
Comments: Genuine 1873-CC With Arrows dimes will always come with wide reeding and a die crack through the mintmark.  
This die crack should be visible on all circulated grade examples.  Brian Greer indicates, "For years, this date was 
considered to be the key collectable date within the <Seated Dime> series, possibly due to association with the unique 
1873-CC No Arrows. More recently the 1874-CC has staked its claim to overall "key" status within the regular series." 
 
All four Carson City dates from 1871 through 1874 continue to see considerable upward pricing movement at auctions for 
original and problem free examples.
