1884-S Dime, Reflective MS66
Tied for Finest at PCGS, Ex: Simpson

1884-S 10C MS66 PCGS Secure. Fortin-102, R.3. Ex: Simpson. The fields are reflective and fully prooflike on each side, showing little evidence of patina but considerable field-device contrast. The die-lapped weakness on Liberty's rock base is typical for this die pairing. This extremely attractive coin justifies its Premium Gem grade with no marks of any importance, despite a couple of tiny reeding marks in the right obverse field. The 1884-S Seated dime is a low-mintage issue of about 560,000 pieces, and few survive as nice as this example. The underrated 1884-S was the first San Francisco dime issue since the 1877-S, although its celebrity is dimmed by its proximity to the 1885-S the following year, a production of less than 44,000 pieces and a noted key date in the series. Population: 2 in 66, 0 finer (11/15). This is the finest shown on PCGS CoinFacts.
