Heritage Commentary: Coins of all types produced by the San Francisco Mint during the latter half of the 19th century were not typically saved by collectors and tended to be heavily circulated. This Barber dime issue was no exception; Uncirculated examples from the mintage of 1.1 million pieces are scarce to rare.(Registry values: N4719)
