Lot 353		Mercury Dime. 1920. NGC graded MS-67 Full Bands. Dark gold toning on both sides, but the surfaces are very clean, and hence were awarded this monumental grade. NGC has only graded 10 this high, with just 2 higher, making this one of the very finest graded of the date. Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,500. View details and enlarged photos	Unsold
Lot 354		Mercury Dime. 1921-D. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bands. One of the key dates to this series, only 1,080,000 were coined for the year, and very few were set aside. This fact is borne out by the PCGS Population Report which shows 47 graded this high with Full Bands and a scant 14 higher, all one grade above at the very top of the census. This one is mostly bright, with a delicate pinkish tone on both sides, and abundant satiny luster beneath. Fully struck as expected for a full bands coin, with strong curls on Liberty and all minute details sharp. A desirable gem example of this tough as nails date! (PCGS # 4937) .

Lot 379		Roosevelt Dime. Error Roosevelt dime, off center by about 40 percent and a reverse brockage! No date, and the planchet i. MS-60+. The planchet on this one weighs only .41 grams, and appears to be aluminum. No trace of the obverse, and hence no date, and there is no mintmark on the reverse. Just exactly how this one was struck is somewhat of a mystery to us, so take some time to study it before the auction. The planchet was nearly severed by the dies, and this coin is quite fragile. Perhaps a coiner dropped the pop top off a soda can which somehow made it into the coining hopper! Estimated Value $50 - 70. View details	Realized $242
Lot 380		Roosevelt Dime. 1976-D Error Roosevelt dime, struck about 50 percent off center towards 1 o'clock. MS-63. Nice color and surfaces, but we note some circular scratches on the blank part of the reverse, likely from a coin counting machine. A spectacular error which is well off center.
