Out of 24 coins minted, ten are known. Eight are graded as proofs (though technically they're not proofs, only proof-like). The ninth specimen--found in a Gimbel's department store junk cash box in 1957 and purchased for $2.40--is graded G4. The tenth coin is graded AG4.
Thank you for the rundown! So it is correct to offer the full range of prices. One of the 14 remaining coins could theoretically turn up in any condition. I will not be holding my breath though.

You're welcome!

Here's another interesting tidbit: According to Mint authorities, out of the 24 minted, 10 were melted and 14 went into circulation. So, minus these known 10, four dimes are still unaccounted for. Check your change!

Barber dimes circulated a lot. It's possible an 1894-S is sitting in someone's collection with the mint mark area completely worn off.
