Comments: Obverse 1 is in an early die state and is fairly well struck for an 1875-S dime. There is a faint die crack from STATE(S) to Liberty's eye. Reverse A is punched with a filled Micro S mintmark. It is positioned high and left between the ribbon ends. This reverse is in an advanced die state, with numerous die cracks on the right and top of the wreath. The most significant die cracks are found at the top of the wreath.
