***Auction Highlight*** 1917-d Mercury Dime 10c Graded ms65 FSB By SEGS. A patina of olive and bronze toning is contrasted by vibrant satiny luster across this sharply defined Gem. Over 9.4 millions examples of the 1917-D were struck, which was dramatically lower than the output of dimes from either the Philadelphia (55.2 mil) or San Francisco (27.3 mil) Mints that year. However, it represents a sharp increase in mintage when compared to the quantity struck in Denver the prior year (264,000), which birthed the famous 20th century rarity of the 1916-D issue. The 1917-D is scarce in Mint State and true Gem examples with a full strike are rare. Only 14 coins are finer than this piece up through MS-66+ FB. A Corey's Pick, Bid to Win, Don't let it get Away, you might not find its equal Coin. I give this coin my highest recommendation
