This listing is for a 1898-S Barber Dime in a PCGS AU-55 holder.This coin is the "Extremely Rare" variety, the Breen # 3513.This white blazing example with minimal wear and looks much better then most certified AU-58's.Note: the first 6 photos are of the coin for sale, the last photo is from Walter Breen's Encyclopedia.As the years go by and population reports have matured, the combine pop from NGC/PCGS will eventually dictate pricing as we move forward. Especially with coins that have less then 150 coins finer as a total combined population. There already is a price pattern that has developed (see data below) . Mintages on rare coins prior to the year 1900 are a useless tool for gauging rarity and for the first time in the collector's history we have a much more reliable tool (population reports) that shows us a survival rate. This will remove the personal touch that most pricing guides go by.Below are Facts/Data for reference use:The following numbers are the population reports of Barber Dimes from NGC and PCGSshowing the quantity of examples graded finer then AU-55(lowest combined quantity first)..1895-O.........PCGS--47.....NGC--31............ total-- 78 coins ...........Coin World lists AU-55 for........$4,0001898-S..........PCGS--63....NGC--44............ total-- 107 coins ..........
