Expert Comments

Ron Guth

The 1904 Dime is a common date thanks to a hefty mintage of over 14 million pieces. Most examples are well struck and of the high quality normally associated with the Philadelphia Mint. In some cases, dies were used beyond life expectancy, and some coins struck from those dies exhibit weakness on Liberty's upper lip, and the lettering and devices on the reverse have a mushy, rounded appearance. Some examples show clashing, as well.

The PCGS CoinFacts Condition Census includes MS66 and better examples. The best 1904 Dimes top out at MS67.

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.
