F-102a Rare Date (R5+) - 2nd Lowest mintage of all Dimes @ 8,000 minted - Eagle Eye Rare Coins (Rick Snow).

Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1866 Dime is part of the Seated Liberty Dime series issued between 1837 and 1891, inclusive. Most of the production efforts at the Philadelphia Mint in 1866 focused on the minor (base metal) coins, including the Three Cents and Five Cents made of Nickel. Thus, the mintage of the 1866 Dime is very low: a mere 8,000 circulation strikes and only 725 Proofs. Uncirculated examples are scarce, with MS-63 and MS-64 being the grades most often encountered.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.	Numismatic Rarity Numismatic Rarity converts the Survival Estimate for a particular coin into a number from 1 to 10 (with decimal increments) based on the PCGS Rarity Scale. The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
