1925 Mercury Dime, MS68 Full Bands
Tied for Finest Certified
1925 10C MS68 Full Bands PCGS. From a mintage of more than 25.6 million pieces, the 1925 Mercury dime is an available date, prized by type collectors and series enthusiasts alike. David Lange observes the striking details on this issue are often weak, and examples with a well-defined date and Full Bands are seldom encountered. The present coin is one of only three examples certified at PCGS in MS68 Full Bands, with none finer; while NGC has yet to grade any specimen at this exalted level (3/10).
The present coin is a magnificent Superb Gem, with full striking details, especially on the all-important bands. The date is distinct in all digits and clearly separated from the rim. The brilliant surfaces blaze with satiny luster, enhancing the overwhelming visual appeal. This extraordinary piece is a solid candidate for the finest Registry Set of Mercury dimes.(Registry values: N4719) (#4949)
