Superb Full Bands 1925-D Dime
Ex: Kritzman, Full E in ONE

1925-D 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. Ex: Kritzman/Joshua II. High-grade Uncirculated 1925-D dimes with Full Band details are among the most challenging issues in this fascinating and highly collectible series. In the 2005 Complete Guide, David Lange notes the difficulty in locating a high-grade 1925-D with complete peripheral details: "Areas particularly noted ... are the curls forming Liberty's face, the final digit of the date and, most notably, the E in ONE."
When Harold Kritzman sold this piece in January 2002, he added more colorful commentary:

"Fully struck peripherals, including the E in ONE on reverse. I consider this a very rare attribute. This is only the second Gem specimen I have personally seen with the E in ONE completely struck. (I owned the other, as well). In the early days, before the original ANACS, the knowledgeable dealers would find suspicious any 1925-D Mercury dime with a fully struck E in ONE. Virtually without exception, a fully struck E would indicate the mintmark was either added onto a 1925-P or altered from an S-mint specimen. When I discovered my first authentic full E, 100% FSB gem specimen of the 1925-D at a major coin show in the early 1970s, Vince Filpi, another acknowledged Mercury dime specialist, was so excited he offered me a quick 300% profit which I, of course, turned down."

This is a lovely, original, lightly toned example that shows deeper russet-brown accents around the obverse periphery. The luster is bright and shows intense mint frost. As one would expect from the high grade, the surfaces are virtually perfect. Population: 2 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (7/10).
