    The 1872-S is widely considered the rarest S-mint in the series, but I have always wondered how it compares to the 1870/71/72/73 CC mints in terms of overall availability. PCGS pop. report numbers suggest that it ranks with that group, maybe close to the top? PCGS pop. report numbers (all grades):

    1870-CC - 76
    1871-CC - 58
    1872-CC - 86
    1872-S - 58
    1873-CC Arr. - 62

    Nice info. I wonder how it compares as CAC coin against the CC coins. Doug's coin is stickered. Very nice coin.

    Doug, we keep talking about your '71-CC but have never seen it? at least I haven't. I have heard nothing but wonderful things! Are you in a position to post some pictures?

    I believe it's the highest graded circulated CAC 72-S. Nothing above this 30 except MS coins.

    @rhedden really nice quarter. Until you pointed it out, I missed the very slight rim issue. I’m glad PCGS straight graded it since it appears to be so minor. Love the reverse toning and hope the TV is somewhat accurate. Congrats!

    There have been a few examples of this date auctioned off in MS62-64 the past few years, but none of them really had sufficient eye appeal to tempt me to bid. I paid a stiff price for the AU58, and I'll probably take a bath some day when I go to sell it, but it looks fantastic for the grade and it will brighten up my set.

    Many very nice coins there.
    I'm curious why you have both 1857 and 1858 half dimes.
    Most people don't know that 1858 had a new obverse hub (compared with 1841-56).
    The 1857 could be the old hub or new hub.
    There is also the 1859 Philadelphia obverse which is a one-year hub.

    Thanks. The reason I have both the 57 and 58 half dimes is because I had the 58 from a long time ago, way before I started putting together a circulated PCGS slabbed type set. It’s a NGC MS64. I have all of my slabbed coin images in the same digital album on my iPhone/iPad whether they are in my type set or not. I made the collage out of the thumbnail images, just for fun.

    Most likely I’m going to make a better collage out of just the Liberty Seated circulated type set once it’s complete and use the actual images in higher resolution rather than just using the thumbnail images. In other words, it’s just a draft, but I liked the way it looked so I posted it.

    A legitimately rare coin! By far the toughest 's' mint to find as a date. I had one back in the 1980's traded it to work toward my Seated Dime set. Wish I still had it!
