biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 01:18 am I just picked this up from my shop's bid board last week. The 1913-S has the second lowest mintage of the Barber dime series(not counting the 1894-S) at 510,000. It is a semi-key but there are several issues that are more valuable. This is a scanned image and my first scanned image at that so hopefully they are of good enough quality to grade. Report this Post to the Staff

I would say G4 although the reverse might be better -- the scan of the reverse is a bit more difficult to make out. Report this Post to the Staff

Bilbo Pillar of the Community United States 812 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 12:20 pm I think I'm seeing a bit of the 'L.' I agree with G-6. Report this Post to the Staff
Jaobler Pillar of the Community United States 6383 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 12:42 pm Looks like a slam-dunk for G-04: head outlined with almost no detail remaining, and no trace of LIBERTY. The reverse might be a tad better but the obverse generally determines the overall grade. This might be a good date to hoard. Considering the low mintage it might become more popular (and pricier) at some point. The 1901-S, 1903-S, and 1904-S all have higher mintage yet carry higher price tags. The 1913-S might just catch up one day! Report this Post to the Staff
hunter20ga Pillar of the Community United States 1173 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 2:26 pm I'd say G-4, as well. Always good to grab a key date or semi-key whenever a nice one comes your way. Report this Post to the Staff
SpringCypress Pillar of the Community United States 666 Posts	Posted 05/11/2008 11:40 pm As good as a G4 can be. I'm straining to see some letters in LIBERTY but just can't. So it can't grade VG. This is such a good example that I pulled out my set to see if this one was a little better, as my set is mainly G4 coins. And like you said this is a one of the tougher dates. (and undervalued in my opinion). Report this Post to the Staff
littleboy Pillar of the Community United States 764 Posts	Posted 05/12/2008 11:15 am G6 i see about 1.5 letters in LIBERTY. the rims are flat but full with some denticles visible. all details are plain but visible. Report this Post to the Staff
biokemist6 Bedrock of the Community United States 12437 Posts	Posted 05/16/2008 10:50 am I graded it G6 due to a bit of detail remaining in the wreath leaves and part of TY remaining in LIBERTY. I picked it up for $22.50. Report this Post to the Staff
