Full Bands 1918-S Mercury Dime, MS66
One of the Finest Known

1918-S 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. A blazing white coin that shows strong luster and a good strike throughout. The surfaces are close to perfection, and a strong loupe will find little fault. We do note a tiny tick near the back of Liberty's neck, above the 19 in the date for identification purposes, and a couple of minute dark specks in the field before Liberty's chin. Evidence of die clashing is noted between the BE of LIBERTY. One of the finer examples known of this date, with a small cluster seen this fine, and a scant two pieces graded finer by PCGS. None have been graded finer by NGC, and only 4 coins have merited this grade level from that service. For the specialist, this coin would make a welcome addition to an advanced collection. Population: 17 in 66, 2 finer (5/10).(Registry values: N4719)
