Seated Liberty Dime 1856-S

jmcu12jmcu12 Posts: 2,452 ✭✭✭
I am not a SL dime guy but I found this one in a junk drawer at the local shop; got it for $1.

It has been holed at the top of liberty's head and I would grade it as AG-3.

What type of rarity is represented in this date and mint mark?

I figure for the price I will just be adding it to my type set but I thought I would see if I could find out more about it.


thanks all!

(sorry no pics, I am at work right now)

    Even with the hole, this has YOU SUCK! Lite™ potential.

    I don't think it's a "YOU SUCK", but I think a "you suck" will do since it's holed.

    Nice find.

    IMO it is a more difficult date that is worth over Trends. Nice find!

    I know a guy who loves holed coins, S mints seated dimes even more of you want to sell her.

    Any 1856 S is a good find.
