1918-D 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS.
A simply incredible specimen of this scarce date that presents an outstanding opportunity for the Mercury dime enthusiast who must have the best for his or her collection. Tied for honors as the finest certified example (it is one of just two coins graded MS66 Full Bands by PCGS, and none have been graded thus by NGC). The satiny surfaces display unbroken luster and a hint of champagne and pink highlights, and nary a single abrasion is to be found even under magnification. Unlike most coins from this issue, the strike is exquisite, with exceptional detail in the centers. The central bands on the reverse are sharp and fully rounded. An interesting die crack is present from the bottom rim on the obverse, and only adds to the desirability of this piece. A splendid coin that would be the highlight of any collection, and one on which we expect spirited bidding to carry the day. Population: 2 in 66 Full Bands, none finer (8/01).

1925-S 10C MS 67 Full Bands PCGS.
The 1925-S has a similar mintage (5.8 million pieces) to the 1925-D (5.1 million pieces). While both issues are equally as scarce in lower Mint State grades, top rarity honors belong to the S-mint delivery at the Gem Full Bands level. With our offering of Senator Bassano's incredible Mercury dime collection in our Philadelphia 2000 Signature Sale, this cataloger thought that he had seen the ultimate representation of the 1925-S (MS 66 Full Bands PCGS). While the Bassano specimen will always be worthy of praise, its aura of invincibility has been shattered by the present example. This is an incredibly well defined coin for this otherwise poorly produced issue. The central crossbands are not only fully split, but well rounded from end to end. The peripheries are free of bothersome die erosion and the luster is unmarred by even the most trivial bagmark. A bright, mottled overlay of golden-orange and cobalt-blue iridescence provides a lush, original appearance. This is the single finest example known to PCGS, and is it matched, but not bettered, by a mere four coins at NGC (7/00).
From the Joshua Collection.

1916-D 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS.
This is one of the finest examples of this key date known, and a very desirable specimen. The surfaces are exceptional for a 1916-D Mercury dime, with virtually no handling marks or nicks present. Bathed in mint luster, the color is white with a couple of minute flecks of peripheral gold on both sides. The strike is absolutely sharp, with fully rounded bands at the center of the reverse and no signs of weakness are found even with the scrutiny of a 10X loupe. For identification purposes we note a very faint line in the field close to the rim near the L of LIBERTY between the LI of that word. Near Liberty's forehead a couple of shadowy leaves can be seen from clashing with the reverse die. On the reverse, we note very minor clashing above the motto in the field.
Mintage for the year stalled out after 264,000 pieces were coined by the Denver Mint, and one wonders if this tiny mintage was an afterthought or some sort of bureaucratic snafu which halted coinage. The Denver had been fairly consistent in their production of dimes since their opening in 1906. Barber dime production had been skipped during 1913 and 1915 by the Denver mint. Perhaps the branch mints were eager to strike the new coinage designs and would find any excuse to use the dies to create the exciting new coinage. In 1916, the Denver Mint struck over one million of the new Walking Liberty halves, nearly as many as the Philadelphia and San Francisco mints combined. With the change of the three minor silver coin designs all in 1916, the Philadelphia Mint's die hubbing and engraving department must have been very busy. The new Walking Liberty half dollar, Standing Liberty quarter and Mercury dime were each designed by a mint outsider, and thus the designs had to be transferred from models to hubs and dies for coinage. This monumental task must have had everyone in the mint quite busy. Apparently, the Denver mint was ordered to start coining the new (1917-D) Standing Liberty quarters in

1916-D 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS.
Although serious plans to introduce a new dime to supplant the staid (at least, considered so by most pundits) Charles Barber design had been under way since 1915, numerous factors collaborated to forestall the production of the Winged Liberty design until late in 1916 at the Denver Mint. Those factors included a late-year focus on the mintage of quarters to meet an unanticipated demand, the need to get the new dime design approved by AT&T (pay-telephone booths became common during the 1910s in America) as well as a vending machine manufacturer, and last-minute design tweaks. This confluence of factors resulted in a scant mintage of 264,000 D-mint pieces, all released in November 1916. An instant rarity was born.
Member of the non-numismatic public saved most of the Mint State survivors as mementos, and they were probably carelessly stored. Accordingly, most Mint State survivors grade MS64 and lower. As a generally well-struck first-year issue, most Mint State survivors do show full detail in the central horizontal bands. An overwhelming preponderance of Mint State survivors at both NGC and PCGS are graded at the MS64 Full Bands level. The present superbly appealing piece, a Premium Gem with Full Bands, is among the 23 finest survivors at both services combined, and is exceeded by a mere eight pieces. It offers a light, attractive, irregular translucent patina of smoke-gray, amber-gold, and olive on both sides (but heaviest at the reverse rim) beneath which much luster radiates. Not only are the crucial central bands full, but the diagonal bands are almost entirely full, with the bottom one showing just a touch of merging with the nearby olive leaf. Exceedingly few abrasions of any size are present, with a couple of small reeding marks, seen only with a loupe near the top of the Liberty cap worth a mention, and entirely within the parameters of the Premium Gem definition. The overall eye appeal is essentially unimprovable. Population: 17 in 66 F

1916-D 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS.
Along with the 1901-S Barber quarter, the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter, and the 1921 P, D, and S-mint Walking Liberty halves, the '16-D Mercury dime is one of the premier rarities among 20th century silver issues. Only 264,000 pieces were produced, and the dearth of collectors in the Midwest precluded the survival of a large Mint State population. Of those coins that did cheat the avenues of commerce, many display fully struck devices. Contrary to popular belief, therefore, the 1916-D is not the most difficult Mercury dime to locate with Full Bands definition and it is superceded by several issues, most notably the 1919-S and the 1945. This statistic does, however, pale to insignificance when compared to the absolute rarity of this issue. The extant population of 1916-D Mercury dimes has always been far below the number of collectors who specialize in this popular series. The specimen we offer in this lot is exquisitely struck, with sharp detail throughout the design elements. Medium intensity charcoal-gray, olive, and sea-green toning bathes lustrous surfaces on both obverse and reverse. A couple of tiny, unobtrusive marks that are well concealed within the toning are not in the least bothersome. This specimen is an excellent prize for the advanced Mercury dime specialist. Population: 15 in 66, 6 finer (7/04).
From The Reed Hawn Collection of Mercury Dimes.

1942/1 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS.
Ex: William Dominick and Joshua II PCGS Registry Sets. Other than the 1916-D, the 1942/1 is the best known key date in the Mercury Dime series. It is slightly scarcer as a Full Bands Gem than its 1942/1-D counterpart, and the overdate is much bolder. This famous variety was produced sometime within the last four months of 1941. The Philadelphia Mint was apparently pushed to the limit of its coinage capacity as the United States geared up its economy to meet the challenges of World War II. Over 300 million Dimes were struck in 1942, the highest mintages of the denomination to that date. Two obverse dies for the Mercury dime were impressed first with a 1941-dated hub, and then with a 1942-dated hub. One of these dies, the more dramatic of the two, was used to coin an undetermined number of 1942/1 dimes at the Philadelphia Mint. The other was shipped west to the Denver Mint. By March of 1943, the
Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine
had published a discovery article about the overdate submitted by Arnold Kohn of Kingston, New York. Despite the short amount of time before this error was discovered, and the resulting scramble by collectors to find as many examples as possible, few coins have come down to today's specialists in truly spectacular levels of preservation. According to Walter Breen, most Uncirculated examples of this variety are from four rolls discovered in 1954.
The present premium Gem has blazing luster and light olive and honey-gold color. Although not razor-sharp, the strike is decidedly above average, and the surfaces are nearly pristine. It is pedigreed to the Joshua II and William Dominick Mercury Dime with Varieties PCGS Registry Sets, which are ranked #1 and #2 all-time. Population: 6 in 66, 0 finer (10/05).

1920-S 10C MS67 Full Bands PCGS.
An outstanding example of this rare issue that is tied for finest certified (and presumably finest known). In the opinion of Harold Kritzman, the '20-S is the "toughest condition and strike rarity of the Mercury Dime series." This piece not only has complete band definition but there is also no fadeaway on the 0 in the date, a trait this issue would usually share with the 1920-D. The pristine surfaces are covered with rich orange, rose, and lime-green toning over both sides with strong underlying mint frost. Very scarce in such a superior state of preservation, this piece is finer than any of the '20-S Dimes in any of the other name collections we have sold over the years, including Bassano, Dominick, and Joshua. Again quoting Kritzman, "only a true full strike 1918-D in MS67, 100% FSB, should one ever be certified as such, would be considered of equal rarity to this 1920-S."
Ex: 1990 ANA Auction (Heritage, 8/90), lot 1255, where it realized $22,000.

1916-D 10C MS66 Full Bands NGC.
While the Denver Mint was certainly busy producing silver coins at the end of 1916, its efforts were not evenly distributed. Using four pairs of dies, mint employees struck 264,000 examples of the new Mercury dime design in November. After this limited mintage, they switched their efforts to the Barber quarter and hurriedly produced 6,540,000 pieces between then and the end of the year. While the quarter is plentiful in all grades up to and including MS65, the 1916-D Mercury dime is a well known rarity that is well represented on collectors' wish lists.
For the specialist who will accept nothing but the best, we offer the present Gem. One's eye is immediately drawn to the central bands, and they are fully separated from end to end. The balance of the devices are equally well impressed and the surfaces display an untoned appearance overall. Lustrous, mark-free, and worthy of the finest Mercury dime collection. Census: 7 in 66, 2 finer (1/06).
