<B>1925-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS.</B></I> A very pleasing gem, with a bolder than usual strike, thick luster, and virtually no toning save a bit of light sandy color at the peripheries. A remarkable example, considering that some Mercury dime experts believe the 1925-S is the most poorly made date in the entire series. David Lange, for example, in his book The Complete Guide to Mercury Dimes, writes: "Both obverse and reverse [are] plagued by heavy die polishing and erosion and a generally weak strike throughout. This is especially noticeable around the reverse periphery. Some of the letters in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA may be indistinct, particularly at their tops...." This piece shows the heavy die polishing, but the centers are fully struck. Population: 57 in 65, 20 finer (12/07).<BR><BR><B>Coin Engraver:</B> Adolph A.
