1919-S Mercury Dime. MS-64 FB (PCGS).
A dusting of light champagne-gold iridescence enlivens both sides of this smartly impressed near-Gem. One of the more poorly produced issues in the Mercury dime series, the 1919-S (8,850,000 coins struck) is typically encountered with soft detail around the peripheries on one or both sides. Even Full Bands examples, which are rare in their own right, tend to be poorly defined at the borders. With Mint State survivors as a whole scarce, this impressive strike rarity represents an important bidding opportunity for astute Mercury dime collectors.
