1918-D MERCURY 10C MS66 Full Bands

GEM FULL BANDS. LOVELY IRIDESCENT TONING. JUST 1 COIN GRADED HIGHER. This is the final year of World War One, and the United States's coinage facilities were operating at full capacity as far as Dime production is concerned. The Denver Mint produced 22.6 million coins this year, a sizeable total that it could not achieve without relaxing its quality-control standards. Most Mint State survivors of this issue are plagued by peripheral striking weakness, and they rarely possess Full Bands detail. Here, then, is a true strike rarity in this ever-popular 20th century silver series.
