1917-D MS 65 Full Bands. Frosty white, with full, satiny luster and rich, original eye appeal. The rarity of this coin in this lofty grade is evident in the information gleaned from the grading services. PCGS has graded only 3 examples in MS 65 FB (4/94), with three higher (compare this with the 1916-D that is represented by 22 examples in MS 65 FB or better). NGC shows a number of MS 65 FB or better examples of each date, but the populations are closer, with the 1916-D slightly more common (if common is an apt term). Despite the fact that the 1917-D is rarer in MS FB than the 1916-D, it still sells for considerably less money. Perhaps as time goes on, greater attention will be paid to the actual, rather than the historical, rarities.
