<B>1918-S 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS.</B></I> Like its Denver counterpart, the 1918-S Mercury dime is notoriously elusive with the Full Bands designation, and examples in better Mint State grades are particularly challenging. The overall poor production standards for the issue means that eye appeal is an important factor, unlike many later issues that are known to "come nice."<BR> By contrast, the immensely lustrous and eminently appealing Premium Gem offered here gives no cause for concern. The strike is bold, and aside from a touch of cream patina at the margins, the surfaces are essentially untoned and smooth. Supremely difficult to acquire in a better state; PCGS has graded a mere two finer Full Bands representatives (12/07).<BR><I>From The Scheppman Collection, #4 PCGS Registry of Full Band Mercury Dimes.</B></I><BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
