Losbeschreibung

This beautiful Gem sports full, billowy mint luster and a remarkably sharp strike from the rims to the centers. Untoned with a lovely antique silver-gray appearance, the significance of this coin will be instantly recognizable to astute Mercury dime enthusiasts. A notorious strike rarity among early date San Francisco Mint issues in this series, survivors of this 19,300,000-piece delivery are seldom offered with Full Bands detail. Additionally, the 1918-S is often poorly struck at the lower crossbands and/or in the date area. None of the typical detractors are seen here, and with expert surface preservation, as well, this rare CAC-approved example is fit for inclusion in the finest Mercury dime set.
