1918-D Dime, MS65 Full Bands
Rare High-End Example

1918-D 10C MS65 Full Bands CACG. The 1918-D Mercury dime is an important strike rarity in the series. Full Bands examples are elusive in all grades, significantly more so than those of the 1916-D. Gem Full Bands coins are rare. PCGS and NGC combined list several dozen grading events in MS65 Full Bands but only a handful of coins finer. Of these five MS65 Full Bands pieces and one MS66 Full Bands coin carry a CAC green label. Thus, CAC-quality examples are incredibly rare.

The current coin stands further apart as one of only two Gem Full Bands examples of this date currently certified in a CACG holder -- this piece in MS65 Full Bands, and one coin in MS65+ Full Bands (6/24). For the quality-conscious collector, this coin represents a rare and important find. Light russet toning and some flecks of deeper color attest to the originality of the surfaces, while the vibrant, frosty luster is devoid of major abrasions. Despite moderate metal flow in the margins from die erosion, the centers are sharp.(Registry values: N7079)
