Scarcity: A date that is scarce in all circulated grades, becoming rare in Mint State. In Mint State, the Small Micro S variety appears to be slightly more difficult than the Small Thin S.

Comments: The strike quality of the 1874 San Francisco dimes is much poorer than Philadelphia examples. Both the Micro S and Small Thin S varieties are often seen with uneven strikes and weakness in Liberty's head. Weakness of the reverse rims is also a problem, especially for circulated coins in lower grades. Many examples are found with surface problems. Value As A Date (Coin World Trends/CoinValues
