Scarcity: 1858-S dimes are very scarce in any grade.  In grades of VF or better, 1858-S dimes are more difficult to 
locate than either the 1856-S and 1859-S dates.  This date is extremely rare in Mint State.

Comments: Three obverse dies were paired with two reverse dies. Most examples found in circulated grades will have
problems.  Variety 103 followed by Variety 102 appear to be the more common die pairings.  Variety 101 is very difficult 
to locate.
