The 1858-S Seated Liberty Dime in Fine (F) 15 grade, certified by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), presents an interesting case for collectors due to its mint mark, condition, and historical context:


  • Mint Mark: The 'S' indicates it was minted in San Francisco, which is notable because during this period, coins from the San Francisco Mint were typically produced in smaller quantities compared to the Philadelphia Mint. This can affect rarity and value.
  • Design: Like other Seated Liberty dimes, this coin features Lady Liberty seated on a rock with a shield and holding a liberty pole with a cap, designed by Christian Gobrecht. The reverse shows a wreath encircling the denomination.
  • Grade F-15: A coin graded Fine 15 has seen moderate circulation but retains a fair amount of detail:
    • Detail: Major features like Liberty's head, the shield, and stars are clear. The legends are readable, though the coin might exhibit some flatness or wear on the highest points.
    • Condition: Expect some wear on the high points, but the coin should still convey its basic design elements without severe damage or corrosion.
  • Value Considerations:
    • Rarity: Dimes from the San Francisco Mint, especially in better circulated grades like F-15, can be harder to find, thus potentially more valuable than their Philadelphia counterparts due to lower mintage numbers.
    • Collector Interest: Collectors might be interested in this coin for:
      • Its grade, representing a piece of history that has been through circulation but still holds onto much of its original detail.
      • The San Francisco mint mark, which adds to the coin's story and rarity.
      • Completing a set of Seated Liberty dimes or focusing on San Francisco issues.
