1918-D Mercury Dime. MS-65 FB (PCGS). A flashy Gem with mostly brilliant surfaces and traces of olive-green iridescence shadowing the protected areas. A vertical die crack runs through the truncation of Libertys bust but the complexion remains free from notable post-mint blemishes. Striking quality is superior to most survivors of this issue, which typically exhibit sharp centers but noticeably soft peripheries, especially on the reverse. The devices are uniformly sharp across both sides and frosted in rich luster.A product of the wartime Denver Mint, the 1918-D was produced in large numbers (22,674,800 pieces), but with little regard for quality. The peripheral weakness noted above is common to most Uncirculated survivors, many of which also lack Full Bands detail. Better produced than the typical 1918-D dime, this significant condition rarity also offers solid Gem Mint State quality. Just five coins have been certified finer by PCGS.
