Description
Superb Gem Full Bands 1918 Dime
With a Remarkably Sharp Strike
1918 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. The Mercury design did
not strike well early on, and the first three years saw three
different obverse hub styles, according to David Lange in his
Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes. Lange notes that while the
details of Liberty's wing were strengthened by the change in 1918,
the peripheral lettering is often-weak, not to mention the bands on
the reverse, a problem apparently never solved.This coin has a remarkably sharp strike for the issue on both obverse and reverse. Touches of pink and gold patina settle over strong lustrous, subtly textured surfaces. An important example that offers understated elegance. Population: 4 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (6/10).
