Seated Dimes
1873 10C Closed 3, No Arrows, Repunched Date, F-103, FS-301, R.3, MS66 PCGS. CAC. A Top 100 Seated Dime Variety. The date is strongly repunched west to confirm the Cherrypickers' Doubled Die Obverse. The Closed 3 design was replaced by the Open 3 variant later in the year and further revised to have a nominal increase in weight with arrows added left and right of the date. In the No Arrows format, surviving Closed 3 examples outnumber the Open 3 by perhaps 5 to 1 except in high grades, where both are rare. Frosty and lustrous pale ivory-gold toning joins a few powder-gray flecks on this otherwise brilliant Fortin-103 dime. The strike is far sharper than often seen for the type, with no visible marks visible of consequence. Population (all Closed 3 varieties): 7 in 66, 0 finer. CAC: 3 in 66, 2 finer (11/16).
