The 1865-S Seated Liberty Dime in VF35 condition, graded by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation), is a notable coin for several reasons:

Design: This dime features the Seated Liberty design by Christian Gobrecht, which was used from 1837 to 1891. The obverse shows Lady Liberty seated on a rock, with "LIBERTY" above, the date below, and thirteen stars encircling. The reverse displays an eagle with a shield, an olive branch, and arrows, with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DIME" inscribed.
Condition (VF35):
VF35 (Very Fine): At this grade, the coin has seen circulation but retains much of its detail:
There will be moderate wear on the high points like Liberty's head, her arm, and the eagle's breast, but major features are still clear.
Hair strands on Liberty's head and the feathers of the eagle will be visible but worn down.
The coin will not exhibit mint luster due to circulation wear but should present an even wear pattern.
Rarity: The 1865-S Seated Liberty Dime is considered a better date, meaning it's relatively scarcer than many other dates in the series, particularly in higher grades. This scarcity is due to lower mintage figures at the San Francisco Mint during this period.
Value: 
Market Demand: Being a better date, even in VF35, this dime attracts collectors of the Seated Liberty series, type collectors, and those focusing on branch mint issues, especially from the West Coast.
