Superb Gem 1917 Mercury Dime, Full Bands
Among the Finest Certified

1917 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Comics-N-Stuff San Diego. When discussing the 1917 Mercury Dime, thoughts turn to high mintage (over 55 million coins) and abundant availability. This is hardly an issue that is mentioned when talking about 20th century coinage rarities, yet examples in Superb Gem MS67 grade with Full Split Bands are rarities. This lovely example is tied with several other pieces for finest certified by PCGS. Without a doubt, it will soon claim its place in one of the best Registry Sets. The surfaces are mostly brilliant with frosty silver luster accented by deep iridescent toning near the borders. As suggested by the PCGS designator, it is crisply and sharply struck with full definition. This is an important opportunity for the advanced collector. Population: 15 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N1793)
