In 1875, most U.S. silver coins returned to "normal" -- that is, the arrowheads that appeared in 1873 and 1874 were no longer used to differentiate the new coins from the old.

Dime production at the Philadelphia Mint in 1875 was impressive -- over ten million Dimes were struck and placed into circulation. As a result, this date is common in most grades, up to (and inlcuding) MS66. In MS-66+ and MS67, this date becomes extremely rare, with only a handful of coins at this level.

Strike quality for this date can be inconsistent, perhaps due to the large mintage. Some 1875 Dimes are well struck and lustrous, others are softly struck, especially on the high points of the wreath. Still others have a grainy appearance from being struck using old. worn-out dies.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.	Relative Rarity by Series Relative Rarity By Series ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Series. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
