1918-D 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. A simply incredible specimen of this scarce date that presents an outstanding opportunity for the Mercury dime enthusiast who must have the best for his or her collection. Tied for honors as the finest certified example (it is one of just two coins graded MS66 Full Bands by PCGS, and none have been graded thus by NGC). The satiny surfaces display unbroken luster and a hint of champagne and pink highlights, and nary a single abrasion is to be found even under magnification. Unlike most coins from this issue, the strike is exquisite, with exceptional detail in the centers. The central bands on the reverse are sharp and fully rounded. An interesting die crack is present from the bottom rim on the obverse, and only adds to the desirability of this piece. A splendid coin that would be the highlight of any collection, and one on which we expect spirited bidding to carry the day. Population: 2 in 66 Full Bands, none finer (8/01). (PCGS# 4919)

1918-D 10C MS 65 Full Bands PCGS. Writing in 1993, David Lange (The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes) stated that only 16% of certified Mint State 1918-D dimes display fully defined central crossbands. If one were to also consider that most examples are weakly impressed near the rims, then the rarity of this carefully produced Gem should be obvious. Richly frosted, both sides are toned in even apricot and gray patina that leaves little doubt about this coin's originality. There is a small die crack on the obverse from the wingtip to the rim, and a second crack on the reverse from the rim before the first S in STATES to the olive branch (both as struck). An inconspicuous reeding mark on Liberty's cap below the wing is, however, the only readily identifiable pedigree marker. Neither NGC nor PCGS have certified a single coin above the MS 65 Full Bands grade level (1/01). We last offered a similarly graded 1918-D dime as lot 7304 in our October 2000 Long Beach Signature Sale. That coin, one of the highlights of the Joshua Collection, realized $42,550.

1918-D 10C MS 65 Full Bands PCGS. Numismatic researchers estimate that only 16% of Mint State 1918-D Mercury dimes qualify for a Full Bands designation. As such, this issue is one of the premier condition rarities in this series along with the 1945, and a strong argument can be made for calling the 1918-D the rarest Denver Mint Mercury dime with Full Bands detail. This particular coin possesses clean, lustrous surfaces with a decided steel-lilac cast. The striking quality is such that all three sets of crossbands are distinctly separated from edge to edge. Both major grading services have bestowed the MS 65 Full Bands grade on only 16 1918-D dimes, and none have been graded higher (7/00).

Auction 328 | Lot 6659 » Dimes » Mercury Dimes

1918-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. This wartime year witnessed a large (22.6 million pieces) delivery of Mercury dimes at the Denver Mint. Apparently, the staff in Denver rushed to get these coins into circulation, and their workmanship was sloppy at best. Mint State survivors are not particularly scarce in an absolute sense, but most display indistinct definition over the central reverse crossbands. In fact, at the MS65 Full Bands grade level, the 1918-D is the premier rarity among D-mint issues in this long-lived and widely collected series. This impressive and obviously important Gem is not only fully impressed over the all-important crossbands, but the peripheral devices are sharply detailed throughout. Both sides exhibit a warm, matte-like texture that is veiled in original dappled pastel shades. The underlying mint luster is strong, and the surfaces are expectantly free of distracting abrasions of any kind. An interesting die crack (as struck) extends from the upper left reverse rim, just left of the S in STATES, and into the field area below. Another notable "as struck" item, also on the reverse, is an apparent die clash mark, just above the D in DIME. Both of these mint-made features could be useful in verifying the coin's pedigree. Population: 15 in 65, 2 finer (4/03).

1918-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Dan Miller. Light golden-brown color adorns this lustrous Gem. The reverse is essentially immaculate, the obverse is nearly as clean since only the faintest contact is apparent when the piece is rotated beneath a light and a loupe. Most Uncirculated 1918-D Mercury Dimes do not possess Full Bands, however, careful inspection does not find any 'bridges' between the bands on this beautiful example. The tops of a few letters near the borders are not completely brought up by the dies, inevitable due to the basined nature of the dies. Short but bold radial die cracks (as made) pass through the E and Y in LIBERTY. A notable conditional rarity, the 1918-D is actually scarcer as a Gem with Full Bands (according to both NGC and PCGS) than the famous 1916-D rarity. Population: 14 in 65, 2 finer (6/05).

1918-D 10C MS 65 Full Bands PCGS. The 1918-D is in the second rarity tier among Gem quality Mercury dimes with Full Bands definition. In this regard, it is equal to the following early branch mint issues: 1917-D, 1918-S, and 1919-S. The '18-D is, however, significantly more difficult to locate than all of these issues and a legitimate argument can be made for calling it the rarest D-mint issue at the MS 65 Full Bands level. A splash of champagne-tan iridescence on and before Liberty's face interrupts the otherwise golden color scheme. In addition to the central crossbands, the rods in the fasces, Liberty's hair, and the feathers in Liberty's cap display sharp definition that is readily evident to the naked eye. The luster is typically unimpaired for the grade and the features are unquestionably distraction-free. Both major grading services report only 15 coins in MS 65 Full Bands with none finer.

1918-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Bright and lustrous, with a good strike to boot. The surfaces are excellent as expected for a Gem grade. We do note a few minor weak areas along the rim, but this is as struck and fairly typical of the coins produced by the Denver Mint during this period. There are a few tiny nicks which can be found with a loupe, and we note a thin luster graze below the reverse motto which will help identify this coin in the future, plus a trivial speck located on the left base of the N in IN. No signs of toning to diminish the luster. Population: 14 in 65, 2 finer (10/05).

1918-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Type of 1918. The '18-D has recently begun to be recognized as a major strike rarity, a fact that had been known to specialists for the past twenty years. It is now generally accepted that the '18-D is the scarcest D-mint Mercury. This brilliant example is a solid Gem that has shimmering mint luster and a complete split across the center bands. Additionally, there is no weakness evident on the lower diagonal band or any of the other areas that often display softness of strike. An exceptional Dime from the collection of the man who discovered "Full Split Bands" as a method for determining a full strike on Mercury Dimes. Population: 15 in 65, 2 finer (9/01).
