Description
1920-S Mercury Dime, MS66+ Full Bands
Vibrant Mint Luster
1920-S 10C MS66+ Full Bands PCGS. CAC. Despite an adequate
mintage of 13.8 million pieces, the 1920-S Mercury dime is a scarce
issue in grades as low as the AU level. It seems that few
high-quality examples were saved by contemporary collectors and
most of the mintage circulated heavily in the national economy
until coin collecting from circulation became popular in the 1930s.
By that time, most examples seen were well-worn and abraded.The present coin is a high-end Premium Gem, with well-detailed design elements, showing full separation on the bands. The 0 in the date shows the "fade-away" effect seen on almost all specimens of this date, from all three mints. The well-preserved brilliant surfaces are brightly lustrous and eye appeal is outstanding. Population: 9 in 66 (1 in 66+) Full Bands, 3 finer (11/15).(Registry values: N4719)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23HD, PCGS# 4933, Greysheet# 4542)
Weight: 2.49 grams
