1876-CC 10c – CC Coin of the Week – 10-19-2009

The 1876-CC dime seems to have one of the largest number of varieties of the series. The Seated Dime Varieties web site [url] www.seateddimevarieties.com [/url] lists more than 30 different varieties for this year. One of the interesting varieties I ran across a few years ago was a rusted die version. This particular coin that I have is in an NGC MS-61 slab. It's interesting to note how little detail exists, especially on the reverse, for this uncirculated coin.

I saw somewhere, maybe on the link you mentioned Mike, a similar coin. The caption said the texture on the reverse was due to die rust. Very, very nice coin.

Garryn,
I wanted to include and share 2 neat examples of the 76-cc Seated Dime DDO variety. I would like to find a way to get better close-up images of these coins as the doubling really is spectacular! If anyone is wondering who Ted Clark was, I had asked "NGC" this very same question. The answer I received was that Ted was a pioneer in variety attribution. I understand there are several of his "cc" seated coins floating around with his name designation on the holders. (In the first image, the line is a scratch on the holder, not the coin)

I have one I took from my local bid board, but it's probably a G-4. The doubling is still easy to see. I like the toning on the second coin.
