* * *
Mintage: 933,900 (Ranking 18/73)
Varieties: None known.
Scarcity: Almost as tough as the 1897-O in F to MS62. Like the 1892-O & S, the vast majority have AG reverses. Full rimmed Goods command a good price
Rarity Rating: G-VG R4, F-VF R4, XF-AU R5, MS R4
Total MS PCGS/NGC = 33 (Ranking tied for 20/73)
Comments: Comes well struck with nice luster, but most collector grade coins have been cleaned. Very hard to find with original color.
