1923-S Mercury Dime. MS-65 FB (PCGS). CAC.,The razor sharp strike and lovely golden-russet surfaces add to the appeal of this exceptionally well produced and preserved 1923-S. Dime production at the San Francisco Mint amounted to 6,440,000 pieces, and attrition through circulation was high beginning during the economic boom of the Roaring Twenties. The 1923-S is scarce even in VF and EF grades. This is an elusive Gem Full Bands example that would fit well in an advanced Mercury dime set.,From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from Angel Dees, January 2012.,
