Lot 636
1924-S Mercury Dime. PCGS graded MS-65. Lightly toned with satiny gold hues over abundant mint fresh luster. Well struck, but the central reverse bands are not quite full. Pristine surfaces throughout, and a rare coin in this grade, as few have been awarded gem grades by PCGS, where the Population Report shows just 16 graded this high, with a single coin graded higher, and similar numbers for full bands specimens. An opportunity to put a rare date away as it is seldom available in gem grades.
Estimated Value $700 - 800.
From the Benson collection and purchased from James Macallister on September 25, 1944 in a partial collection of Mercury dimes for $100.00.
