UPDATE: 1873 or 74 CC Seated Dime... at least I think.. :) Is she worth getting slabbed genuine?

Tdec1000

EDITED: UPDATE, I sent this in to PCGS and it came back no grade date not discernable, so I sent it in ATS. I got the update page after they verified the coin and they entered it in as 1873 CC no arrows. The grading portion isn't completed yet. Is there any chance that this in fact an 1873 CC no arrows dime?




Got this one out of a collection today.... Looks like an 1873 or 1874 to me.

STONE

Based on the position of the "CC", I think it's a '76. But I'll let our resident Seated Dime experts chime in!

Tdec1000

Sounds good...

I'm thinking 76-CC, also. The remains of the 4 wouldn't be that close to the 7.

Barry

I vote 76-CC. The die crack thru the mint mark, characteristic of the '74 would be visible thru the C on the right, even with this amount of wear. It's not there.

I am 100% sure it is not a 4

Tdec1000

Any chance it may be the top of a 1??? I have 3 1876 cc dimes and this one doesn't look like it could be a 6.

Would PCGS be able to tell what it is if I sent it in?

Rampage

I, too, feel the coin is a 76CC. Definately a 1, or a 6, because of the curvature of the part showing.

Barry

Not a 1.

OregonCityGold

It's clearly a "4" - probably worth $3,000 in that grade, but not a bad find.

Another vote for 1876 here, the upper left side of the last digit is clearly curved.

Maybe an 1873? Just kidding...

Yep, it's clearly curved...a 6 or an 8...not a 4.

My initial thought honestly was that the last digit was a 3. I showed it to a few dealers and they thought possibly a 1 or a 3 or maybe a 4. It's funny how many different opinions you get when you have such a worn out piece. My question is this. Would PCGS be able to tell what the darn thing is?

Here is a 76-cc

I think that if they can not tell the date you get a "No Grade - Money refunded" If so would not hurt to send it in.

And if they can tell the date, they'll keep your money and holder a coin that's worth less than $10.

The CC's are not right for the 73 or 74. It's probably 76 or 77. Definitely not 73 or 74.

The same reverse was used in all the 1871-74 CC dimes and they all have the same mintmark location -- and this isn't it. The second 'C' is a little higher than the first one on the 1871-74 CC dimes. And all of the '73 and '74 Carson City dimes (and some of the '72s) have a die crack through the mintmark.

100% Not a 71-74 cc reverse, sorry

Tdec1000

Thanks Guys! You never know what you will find in a collection. Only paid silver for it. Thanks Tom

The CC's on the rare dates are closer to the left ribbon and clearly never centered as this one is. Even in this low grade some trace of the arrows at date should remain.

Update to an old thread

Barry

No way it's a 73. The partial digit is just too close to the 7. I still vote for 76.

GMan

I've got a couple of California Fractional tokens in ATS and after verification they are listed as BG numbers, which they are not. I wouldn't take that 1873 date as gospel until it's finalized. I'd also believe the experts here and not get your hopes up.

Here's a thought, does nic-a-date work on silver? LOL

No, I think silver is too hard?

MercCrazy

If it ends slabbed as an 1873-CC no arrows, that's a jackpot and a half.

Tdec1000

I agree with you.... I am just interested to see what it is....if it is at all possible.

It could just be the extreme wear as well.... time will tell. ATS is taking very long (40+ working days) for economy.

ziggy29

Here is the mintmark of the one known 1873-CC No Arrows dime (the Eliasberg piece). It's not even close. Even after all this time I still think it's an 1876. To repeat, all of the known 1871-74 CC dimes used the same reverse die with the same mintmark position -- not to mention that your heavily worn piece has a date that's sloping downward and shifted rather far to the right.

roadrunner

If any of the reeding is still visible that would tell whether it was 71cc-74cc or a later date.
