Lot #840 - 1916-D Mercury PCGS AU-53
Dimes-Mercury
Even to a specialized collector who does not dabble at all in Mercury dimes, the 1916-D requires no introduction, since it has never had challengers for key-date status (ignoring esoteric "grade rarity" discussions) and is famous on multiple levels. The surface of this AU-53 example genuinely has the lustrous quality of an AU-55 coin, and without question, pewter-tan patina draping over the surface appears to be fully original. Therefore, one must probe other aspects of the grading process to figure out why a choice grade wasn't in play. Closer inspection reveals delicate, fluttering hairlines in the obverse right field, and additional superficial hairlining on the portrait, as well as similar activity within the reverse fields. Fortunately, long placement within a correct numismatic environment has permitted the surface to an antiqued appearance that so many enthusiasts covet, and absolutely nowhere can one locate even the tiniest abrasion.

Lot #772 - 1823/2 NGC XF-40, and an 1835 PCGS AU-58
Hammer: $975
Dimes-Capped Bust
A pair of bust dimes offer pleasant strikes and generally acceptable appearance. First is1823/2, likely dipped in the distant past and now showing some orange-gold hue against the rims as well as a surprising burst of luster given the XF-40 grade. Lavender-grey entirely layers over the accompanying 1835, both sides benefiting from an above-average strike but also lacking luster overall. Two coin lot.
