Owner Comments:
1874 San Francisco With Arrows
Mintage: 240,000
Obverse Dies: 2 Known
Two sets of obverse and reverse dies were employed for 1874 San Francisco coinage. The reverse dies are identified as Small Thin S and Micro S due to the mintmark shape and sizes.
The strike quality of the 1874 San Francisco dimes is much poorer than Philadelphia examples. Both the Micro S and Small Thin S varieties are often seen with uneven strikes and weakness in Liberty's head.
