1923-S Mercury Dime. MS-65 FB (PCGS).Glossy luster and a razor sharp strike produce make this rare Gem example spectacular. There is a faint champagne tint to the surfaces of the coin, which has a fully struck portrait of Liberty and clearly split bands on the reverse. Dime production at the San Francisco Mint amounted to 6,440,000 pieces, and attrition through circulation was high due to 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.
