Exceptional 1918-D Dime, MS65 Full Bands

1918-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The 1918-D dime is rare with full center bands; fewer than 30 Gem-quality pieces are designated as Full Bands by PCGS and NGC. Moreover, this issue is typically weak on the lower diagonal band and on the peripheral design elements (David Lange, The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes).
The exquisite strike on the Gem example in this lot transcends the Full Bands to include boldness on the diagonal bands and on all of the peripheral elements. Its lustrous surfaces are visited by speckles of gold-tan and charcoal at the borders. Were it not for a couple of minute marks on Mercury, this lovely specimen would undoubtedly grade even higher. Population: 17 in 65 Full Bands, 2 finer (11/07).(Registry values: N7079)

Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23H6, PCGS# 4919, Greysheet# 4532)

Weight: 2.49 grams

Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
