1875-CC Liberty Seated Dime. Mintmark Above Bow. MS-67+ (PCGS). CAC. A captivating and angelic Superb Gem with snowy-white surfaces across both sides. Uniformly frosted in satiny luster and fully untouched beneath magnification. The focal elements are bold despite isolated weakness at the borders that is typical of this issue. Approval by CAC confirms the truly exceptional quality. <p>Two reverse varieties were utilized for 1875, though the distribution of the mintages was not officially recorded. Q. David Bowers estimates that perhaps 75 percent of the 4.6 million struck were of the Mintmark Above Bow variety, as here, and 25 percent were of the Mintmark Below Bow. Though Choice specimens are readily available, survivors become extremely scarce in Gem grades and only 25 are thought to remain at this level. At MS-67+ (PCGS), this is the sole finest graded by PCGS and is surely destined for an advanced Registry Set. <p>
