Should be a novelty coin, much like the 1913 V nickel, JMHO. It was produced by the San Francisco Mint. There's a (very cool) letter from the Mint to a collector confirming they minted $2.40 worth of dimes (ie 24 coins) that year. - Ian Report this Post to the Staff

Because unlike the 1913 V nickel or 1804 dollar or 1870 S dollar, the 1894 S dime IS recorded in the official business strike mintage figures as actual coinage produced for circulation and examples were reserved for assay just like any other coinage.
