Mercury Dimes
1916-S 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS. CAC. Flecks of olive-gray and deep umber toning adorn this otherwise lightly patinated 1916-S, which is remarkable for both its technical quality and its uniquely original surfaces. The strike is extremely sharp for this San Francisco issue -- unlike most, the centers are bold and the bands are split and rounded. No examples are numerically finer at either service, the quality confirmed by CAC endorsement. Population: 24 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer. CAC: 7 in 67, 0 finer (10/16).
