1928-S Mercury Dime. MS-67 FB (NGC).

1928-S Mercury Dime. MS-67 FB (NGC). Subtle wisps of reddish-russet patina on the obverse enhance otherwise dominant toning in iridescent champagne-pink. This is a fully lustrous and satiny Superb Gem, and a coin that also boasts impressively full strike detail from the rims to the centers. Delivered the year before the Wall Street crash of 1929, the 1928-S saw the early effects of the Great Depression through the withholding of many examples from circulation. This proved beneficial to later generations of collectors for, after only the 1929-S, the 1928-S is the most readily obtainable early date San Francisco Mint Mercury dime in Mint State. It is also one of the better produced issues from its era, although David W. Lange (2005) issues the cautionary warning that, "examples having full bands form a minority of the surviving Uncirculated population." In the very finest grades, as here, such Full Bands examples are undeniable condition rarities that enjoy strong demand from advanced Mercury dime date collectors. NGC Census: 7; 4 finer in this category (MS-68 FB finest). The corresponding PCGS Population is 11/5 (MS-68 FB finest). PCGS# 4971. NGC ID: 23HZ. Click here for certification details from NGC.
