Lot Description

Warm silver-gray patina displays hints of russet iridescence and attractive evenly worn surfaces. The 1893-S ranks as 2nd rarest issue after the Proof-only 1895, and is notable for having the 2nd smallest mintage, just 100,000 pieces. Probably no more than 10,000 survivors can be accounted for today, mostly in grades from Good to VF. The median grade is probably Fine or thereabouts.
