- A coinage act in 1873 increased the weight in silver dimes, quarters, and half dollars, as massive amounts of silver poured from the mines in Nevada, coming from the Comstock Lode. This same act killed the silver dollar and introduced the Trade dollar, all ways of dealing with the flood of silver. As a way to indicate the new weight standard, arrows were placed at the date, as had been done twenty years earlier. While not rare in an absolute sense, these were not saved in GEM grades. Frosty satin luster glows from below a layer of very pleasing toning, especially on the reverse. The devices are sharply struck up and the surfaces are of generally high quality with just a few teeny ticks noted under a strong glass, none of which hurt the wonderful naked eye appeal. PCGS 15, NGC 5. PCGS coins have sold between $8,000 and $13,000 between 2011 and 2017 and the current PCGS Price Guide lists a value of $12,000. Excessively RARE any finer, and keep in mind that the next grade up will cost $32,000+. It may be a while before another GEM comes up for sale! Good luck! Cert. Number 35070988 PCGS # 6343
