Lot 637
1925-D Mercury Dime. PCGS graded MS-66 Full Bands. One of the finest to survive from this date, PCGS notes just 22 have been graded this high, with 2 coins graded higher! Gorgeous gold toning on the obverse, with reddish and green hints mixed in near the rims, the reverse brighter with gold around the edges. Remember, most of these were put away in 1944 and not touched since that time. To find such quality is nearly impossible under any circumstances and the quality of the Benson coins simply staggers the imagination.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased from James Macallister on September 25, 1944 in a partial collection of Mercury dimes for $100.00.
