1898-S Dime, Breen 3513

I don't have the Cherrypicker's Guide but a little info is available on the Internet if you're as anal about it as I am. It's an overdate, right?

I was able to find a dealer's sale record of one back in 2004, an AU example which sold at his asking price of $590. In that same time frame, a PCGS AU55 example went on Heritage for just over $200. The dealer's information indicated that there were only 6 known.

I'd call that pretty scarce.

More like >$600 if you can get it into a reputable slab. It would be difficult to sell, though, as you'd need a hardcore variety collector for a buyer. And only ANACS will attribute this variety on the slab.

They have a term for things like this at the PCGS Forum. If you post there, you know what I mean, but I can't allow that term to be thrown around as loosely in the family atmosphere we enforce here.

I guess I took advantage of the fact that, apparently, the average ebay coin buyer does not know how to search google.

Yeah, most people probably won't,the trick is just finding someone who collects a lot of varieties, which might take awhile, but I'm in no rush to sell something like this.
