1927-S Mercury Dime, MS66 Full Bands
Scarce Issue in Mint State
Ex: Joshua II Collection

1927-S 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Ex: Holman Collection. From a relatively low mintage just under 4.8 million pieces, the 1927-S Mercury dime is an underrated issue in Uncirculated grades. High-end pieces were not well-saved at the time of issue, although the date was hoarded in circulated grades in the 1940s and 1950s. The present coin is a delightful Premium Gem with blazing, satiny mint luster. The obverse is fully brilliant and the reverse displays a faint circle of almond and caramel in the center.
Several authors have noted the strike is often weak on the 1927-S, but this coin is definitely an exception. The design elements are sharply rendered, including the all-important Full Bands designation. This coin is a remarkable prize with its combination of high technical grade, low mintage, and intense eye appeal. PCGS reports only two finer Full Bands examples (1/26).
