NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5177 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 2:39 pm What do you think of this 1874 Seated Liberty dime (arrows). My guess would be XF40. Or perhaps VF35-Choice. Report this Post to the Staff

Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 2:48 pm To me, the weakly struck reverse holds this to VF-35 tops, if even that. Report this Post to the Staff
Ty2020b Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 3:11 pm VF30, not a big fan of the weak reverse, drops the eye appeal, for me at least. Report this Post to the Staff
NumisEd Pillar of the Community United States 5177 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 3:27 pm Agree with the softish appearance of the reverse, but I do like the obverse. Report this Post to the Staff

fortcollins Pillar of the Community United States 3630 Posts	Posted 12/25/2020 10:59 pm It's a much tougher 1874-S, with the more common micro-S variety, rather than an 1874. That's about a $90 swing in value. The reverse weak strike is common for this date and mint. The head is also weakly struck on 1874-S. Interestingly, it does not have both full die breaks on the reverse, suggesting an earlier die state. Adjusting for strike, I'm at VF-35 obverse, VF-30/VF-35 reverse, net VF-35.

panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18645 Posts	Posted 12/26/2020 10:37 am VF30 or 35. could swing either way. the eye appeal and several digs could hold to the 30 especially value wise Report this Post to the Staff

This coin is offered and priced as a straight 1874, no S. Edited by NumisEd 12/26/2020 11:16 am Report this Post to the Staff
