Satiny Premium Gem Full Bands 1928-S Dime

1928-S 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. Small S. Both dies show considerable evidence of polishing and die erosion. Satiny luster with some small prooflike patches, especially on the obverse, what Lange's reference calls the "die burn" phenomenon from zealous die overpolishing. A faint die crack runs from the top of Liberty's hair down to her jawline. Magnification reveals only a modicum of insignificant ticks. Flatly struck at the tops of the letters lining the periphery. Nonetheless pleasing, with few seen finer. Population: 29 in 66 Full Bands, 7 finer (6/09).
