Description
Choice 1926-S Dime, Seldom Offered Full Bands Definition
1926-S 10C MS 64 Full Bands PCGS. The federal government's request for 1.5 million dimes in 1926 appears to have been too much for the San Francisco Mint to handle. Since quality control was tossed aside for the sake of productivity, most 1926-S Mercury dimes emerged from the presses with poorly defined central and peripheral devices. Not so the present example. Both sides are fully struck in all areas with crisp, well rounded crossbands. The surfaces are richly frosted beneath delicate rose-wine iridescence that deepens slightly over the reverse.Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23HT, PCGS# 4959, GSID# 4558)
