1920-S Dime, MS65 Full Bands
Scarce Issue in High Grades

1920-S 10C MS65 Full Bands NGC. More than 13 million pieces were struck of the 1920-S, but no more S-mint dimes were produced until 1923. By leaving these coins in circulation for two years rather than the usual one, attrition took a higher toll than usual. As a result high grade examples, and especially those with Full Bands, are difficult to locate today. The surfaces are softly frosted, as usual, and each side has a slight overlay of yellowish-golden patina. The only mark of note, and it is a slight one, is a luster scrape in the field below the first U in UNUM. Census: 16 in 65 Full Bands, 4 finer (4/10).(Registry values: N4719)
