Mercury Dimes
1924-S 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. PCGS CoinFacts ranks the 1924-S as the second-rarest issue in the Mercury dime series with Full Bands behind the 1919-D. A mintage of slightly more than 7.1 million coins apparently had little effect on assuring the availability of the 1924-S in high grades, with or without a Full Bands designation. All Gems are rare, and finer coins are virtually unheard of. Champagne-gold toning encircles brilliant, thickly frosted centers, where the strike is needle-sharp. Detail softens ever so slightly around the borders. Magnification reveals a few microscopic specks on the fasces. Population: 19 in 65 (1 in 65+) Full Bands, 2 finer (11/16).
