Two Reverses for 1877-CC Dimes

In answer to the Drummer's question below, here are images of the two different reverse varieties of the 1877-CC dime---just follow the arrows.


Type Ones are scarcer than Type Twos, but both are considered common varieties.

"CC" DIME VARIETY HELP

I need a little help and I figured that someone from our C4OA might have the information I'm looking for. I am the owner of a nice 1877-CC seated dime (NGC MS-66) and I understand that there are two types of reverse dies for this date. I don't know which reverse type my example is. Can anyone explain to me how to identify the Type I and Type II reverses. Thanks for any and all help.

1873-CC WITHOUT ARROWS QUARTER SOLD

Hear Ye!, Hear Ye!,

One of the five-known 1873-CC Without Arrows Liberty Seated quarters (PCGS MS-63) just sold on the auction block on January 5, 2009 in Orlando Florida (hosted by Stack's). The lucky new owner shelled out a stunning $431,250.00, which includes the 15% buyers fee. This is, if I'm not mistaken, a record price for this date.






Alas, the new owner tis not I...so for second place, I hope it's someone I know or a fellow member of our C4OA. Check out our voting poll for predictions on prices realized. I voted in the $300,000 plus category, so I finally got one right!
