1885-S Liberty Seated Dime. Fortin-101, the only known dies. Rarity-5. EF-45 (PCGS). With warm dove-gray patina with a tinge of olive, this is an attractive and pleasing example at the assigned grade level. A lower mintage issue from the later Liberty Seated dime series, the 1885-S was produced to the extent of just 43,690 coins. Gerry Fortin (<em>seateddimevarieties.com</em>) describes this issue as "rare in any grade" and further states that the 1885-S is "the key date for With Legend San Francisco dimes." From the Lincoln Square Collection.
