  MINT LEDGERS REVEAL 1894-S DIME INFO
  

  A cover article by Richard Kelly and Nancy Oliver
  in the February 5, 2001 issue of COIN WORLD
  about the rare 1894-S dime notes "New evidence
  concerning their purpose has been uncovered within
  the old 19th century leather-bound ledgers of the
  San Francisco Mint currently stored at the National
  Archives in San Bruno, Calif."
  

  "During the research for our book on the Granite
  Lady (A Mighty Fortress - The Stories Behind the
  2nd San Francisco Mint), we discovered evidence
  within the federal archives that may question the
  total minted of the 1894-S Barber dime and may
  clarify where several of the reported 24 pieces
  now reside."
  

  Letters in the archives indicate that a total of five
  1894-S dimes were forwarded to the Assay Commission,
  but it is unclear if these five were part of or in addition
  to the reported mintage of 24. Little beyond that is
  revealed in the article, so we may have to wait for the
  book to learn where "several of the reported 24 pieces
  now reside."
