1884-S Seated Dime, MS66
Few Known So Fine

1884-S 10C F-101, R.4, MS66 PCGS. CAC. During the 1880s, most branch mint resources were devoted to the production of millions of standard silver dollars as mandated by the Bland-Allison Act of 1878. Almost no quarters or halves were struck in San Francisco during this period (the exception being the 1888-S quarter), and only limited emissions of dimes were paid out from that facility. In 1884, S-mint dime coinage amounted to little more than 564,000 pieces. This issue is a rarity today in Uncirculated condition and is almost never seen at the Premium Gem level. The present piece is remarkable. Liberty's figure and the wreath show excellent definition, set amid frosty luster toned in champagne-gray and aquamarine hues. There are no bothersome abrasions, and the eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 3 in 66, 1 finer (12/15).
