- A dazzling Gem with satin to softly frosted luster and virtually untouched surfaces. Exceptionally well struck with predominantly pinkish-silver coloration that yields to warmer speckles of iridescent rose-russet at the borders. This is one of the most desirable survivors of this issue, a rare and significant bidding opportunity for advanced Mercury dime specialists.<p>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. Most coins were very weakly struck, even at the peripheries where sharpness is rarely an issue. It is thought that fewer than 20% of Mint State examples exhibit the central sharpness to qualify for the Full Bands designation, and these are largely confined to grades of MS-64 and lower. This PCGS MS-65 FB is a miraculous survivor showcasing exceptional production quality and preservation.
