1925-S Mercury Dime. MS-65 FB (PCGS).Lovely gold and champagne-apricot patina blankets both sides, the warmest colors reserved for the peripheries. Sharply defined over the focal features with a fully lustrous, satin to softly frosted finish from the dies. Although not particularly rare in Mint State for a 1920s Mercury dime with a relatively limited mintage of 5,850,000 pieces, the 1925-S is one of the most challenging issues of the type to locate with overall sharpness of strike. This is a superior quality survivor in all regards, solidly in the Full Bands category with above average peripheral detail and expertly preserved surfaces. Attractively toned, as well, and eagerly awaiting inclusion in an advanced Mercury dime set.Ex Comics-N-Stuff San Diego.
