Description: For sale is a 1873 Seated Liberty Proof Dime with Arrows. This silver proof dime has a super low mintage of only 800. It It has also been certified and graded by NGC as Proof 66. Opposed arrowheads flanked the date on dimes coined after passage of the sweeping Mint Act of 1873, and this feature lasted through 1874's production. The arrowheads denoted an extremely slight increase in weight so that the dime would have a more or less even Metric weight of 2.50 grams. The USA's flirtation with this system of measurement was relatively brief, and this gesture was utterly meaningless with respect to commerce. The weight change was so slight that dimes of the previous standard still fell within the legal tolerance for the new standard! A total of 800 proof dimes with arrows was coined from a single pair of dies, and all of these feature the Open 3 date style.
