Seated Dimes

One date in the Carson City dime series is exalted above all other dates. This is the Unique 1873-CC Without Arrows variety. In 1915 this coin sold for $170. In 1950, Louis Eliasberg, Sr. paid $4,000 for it. In 1996, Waldo Bolen bought it for $550,000. Rusty Goe bought it for $891,250 in 2004 and sold it several months later for around $1 million. Today (in 2010) it is worth $3.5 million. Only about ten people have had the privilege to own this special coin. It is by far the rarest surviving memento from the Carson City Mint.

Other rarities in the “CC” dime series are the 1871-CC, the 1872-CC, the 1873-CC With Arrows, and the 1874-CC.
