The journey of these remarkable coins began with their humble minting, lost amidst the vast sea of currency in circulation.
Minted by the United States Mint, these coins were part of a larger production run, yet they possess unique characteristics that elevate them to the realm of numismatic rarities.
Both the dimes and the bicentennial quarter bear distinct features that set them apart from their more common counterparts, rendering them highly sought-after treasures.
The first of the rare dimes is a 1894-S Barber Dime, distinguished by its low mintage and exceptional condition.
With only 24 pieces believed to have been struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin stands as a testament to the craftsmanship and precision of a bygone era.
Its rarity is further accentuated by its impeccable preservation, with sharp details and lustrous surfaces that hint at its storied past.
The second dime is an equally elusive 1874-CC Liberty Seated Dime, minted in Carson City, Nevada.
