1874 Liberty Seated Dime. Arrows. Proof-67 (PCGS). Exceptional Superb Gem Proof quality for this brief two year design type in the Liberty Seated dime series. The obverse shows faint peach patina with richer turquoise hues shining through at the borders. A more vibrant display of colors blooms on the reverse, showcasing golden, violet and sapphire blue iridescence. Fully struck with appreciable reflectivity in the fields that contrasts well with the frosty design elements.As with their counterparts from 1853 to 1855, the Liberty Seated dimes with Arrows of 1873 and 1874 carried that distinguishing feature to denote a change in the weight standard for the denomination. In the case of these later issues, the weight was increased slightly from 2.49 grams to 2.50 grams by the Act of February 12, 1873. The Arrows coinage of 1873 to 1874 is more challenging to locate in Mint State than its predecessor from the mid 1850s, with the result that Proofs are often selected for inclusion in high grade type sets. This is an exceptionally well preserved survivor from a Proof mintage of 700 pieces that is sure to please the discerning numismatist. It ranks among the finest known, tied with just 1 other at PCGS and bested by only a single example at Proof-67+.
