Strike is adequate with all obverse devices well rendered except for typical weakness in hair details. A review of CoinFacts indicates only one 1864-S dime sold in AU50-AU55 grades since records are available. The lone example graded PCGS AU55 sold 11-2012 for $1410.

Rich orange-gold patina blankets both sides, with deeper shades evident in the stars. Original Mint bloom is present in the protected areas, within the figure of Liberty and the reverse legend.

CAC has approved 19 coins total, and the CAC price guide value in AU55 is $6,000.
