Lot Description

A lovely example with a dusting of light pinkish-silver iridescence that gives way to blushes of warmer olive-russet at the borders. Sharply to fully struck throughout with a lustrous, soft satin texture. Although the 1918 (26,680,000 pieces produced) is one of the more common early date Mercury dimes in an absolute sense, precious few survivors are both as well struck and carefully preserved as the present Gem.
