1924-S 10C MS 65 Full Bands PCGS. Writing in 1993, David W, Lange (The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes) noted that the 1924-S had the second lowest certified population of any issue in the Mercury dime series. While the numbers have certainly changed since then, the relative rarity of the present Gem is still relevant today. Most extant '24-S dimes are poorly struck, carelessly preserved coins that do not grade above the MS 63 level. In addition to nearly flawless surfaces, the piece that we highlight here boasts pinpoint striking definition from rim to rim. Warm golden overtones are noted at certain angles, but the frosty-white luster is the first feature that greets the viewer's eye. NGC and PCGS combined report only fifteen examples at the present level with two finer (6/00).

1924-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The availability of Full Bands 1924-S Mercury dimes declines rapidly above MS64. Gems like the present are rare, and only a handful of finer pieces are known. This piece displays luminous satin luster with antique-gold color, which is most prevalent on the obverse. The central strike is sharp, mirroring well-defined legends in the margins. We have seen only a handful of Gem Full Bands 1924-S dimes within the last decade, and we have not handled a finer Full Bands example since 2010. Population: 21 in 65 (1 in 65+), 3 finer (7/24).

Auction 394 | Lot 1887 » Dimes » Mercury Dimes
1924-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Lovely, light, original translucent green-gold toning on both obverse and reverse, with a dollop of pastel plum in the right reverse field. There was an apparent lack of concern about quality at the branch mints during the twenties, or perhaps more accurately stated, there was an emphasis on economy over aesthetics. Many branch mint coinage issues are noted for weak strikes, severe die polishing, or other quality problems. Despite this, the present example is well struck, both through the centers and peripheries, with just a touch of weakness on the lower diagonal. Examination under a glass reveals light scrapes on the cheek and chin, with a couple of tiny ticks on the diagonals. Nonetheless highly pleasing, both technically and aesthetically, and one sure to be a hit both with toning aficionados as well as date collectors. Population: 14 in 65, 2 finer (11/05).

1924-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The 1924-S is one of the best known strike rarities in the Mercury Dime series, and Lange ranks it second among the 77 issues needed to complete a set. It has been almost two years since we have offered a Gem of this issue at public auction. This is an intensely lustrous example that shows no obvious striking deficiencies on either side. Just the slightest overlay of golden patina is seen on both obverse and reverse. Population: 13 in 65, 2 finer (1/03).

1924-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The 1924-S is one of the best known strike rarities in the Mercury dime series, and population data has also proven this to be one of the most difficult issues in Mint State. The current example is an intensely lustrous piece that shows no obvious striking deficiencies on either side, except for minor fadeaway on the 4 in the date. There are a few tiny ticks near the centers of each side, and small, shallow pinscratches are evident in the right obverse and upper left reverse fields. A very light shade of yellow-golden patina is seen on both obverse and reverse, and helps to generate the splendid eye appeal which is this lovely coin's most important feature. Population: 13 in 65, 2 finer (4/03).

1924-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. The 1924-S is an important strike rarity among Mercury dimes in addition to being an absolute rarity. As a strike rarity it is comparable to the 1918-D, 1918-S, and 1919-S. This is a totally original coin that has original gray patina over most of each side with light golden color around the margins. The central bands are fully and deeply split with the only softness being fadeaway on the tops of the peripheral letters on each side. An outstanding, unquestionably original example of this 20th century rarity. Population: 14 in 65, 2 finer (2/04). (PCGS# 4947)

1924-S 10C MS66 Full Bands NGC. The poor quality of most 1924-S dimes is attributed by Lange in his Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes book to result from the prolonged use of worn dies brought on by budget cutting throughout all divisions of the federal government in the 1920s, including the Mint. The author further theorizes that reverse dies were particularly targeted, as they could be used beyond their year of manufacture, unlike dated obverse dies. To lend credence to this theory, he points to the radiant pattern of metal flow lines and distorted lettering that usually occurs on the reverse of these coins. Upon close examination of the example in the current Sale, it would appear that both dies were of above average quality. The design features, including the lettering, are sharply defined. The only striking flaws that seem to fit the typical '24-S dime profile occur in the feet of the I and the left upright of the M in DIME, both of which are drawn to the rim. Both sides are toned in a melange of lavender, sea-green, olive, and aqua-blue. Lustrous surfaces reveal just a couple of small ticks at Mercury's neck. Population: 1 in 66, 0 finer (7/04).

PCGS 1924-S MS 65 Full Bands. Second rarest regular issue of the 77 date and mintmark combinations in the Mercury series, the '24-S is notorious for poorly struck, die clashed coins struck from overused reverse dies. This is a crisp coin with sharp definition throughout. The surfaces show a few small abrasions, and the coin is highly lustrous with brilliant centers that are ringed by a thin band of peripheral golden color. Population: 4 in 65, none are finer.
