* * *
Mintage: 740,000 (Ranking 13/73)
Varieties: None known.
Scarcity: Extremely scarce F and higher. Like the 1893-O, no gems had been graded as of June 1991.
Rarity Rating: G-VG R3, R5 above VG10
Total PCGS/NGC = 25 (Ranking tied for 11/73)
Comments: Like other early dates, the vast majority probably exist as G/AG. In F and VF reverses usually have about one grade more detail than obverses. Comes well struck with nice luster.
