Sharp 1918-D Dime, Gem Full Bands

1918-D 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Kritzman. Uncirculated examples of this issue--and even higher-grade circulated pieces--are elusive, and more elusive still are examples that lack the fadeaway typically seen in the date and the peripheral softness and mushy central bands even most Mint State examples possess. Despite its original mintage exceeding 22.6 million coins, the issue is one on which David Lange comments, "Fully struck gems are genuinely rare." The present piece inspires none of the usual complaints, however, as all letter tops, the center bands, crossbands and other important details are as full as ever on this issue. The lustrous silver surfaces are lightly tinged with gold. A tiny tick is noted on Liberty's neck, without which this piece might merit an even finer grade. Population: 18 in 65 Full Bands, 2 finer (3/09).
Ex: Kritzman Collection (Heritage, 1/2002), lot 6622, where it sold for $19,550.
