Lot Title: 1926-S PCGS AU-53.
Description: The kind of toning seen here is typically reserved for uncirculated coins, and it is possible that the submitter thought this was a BU dime, since generally speaking, it would not make much financial sense to have a circulated 1926-S certified. It isn't that rare! Indeed, only a little luster remains on this piece, although the attractive tone does elevate the eye-appeal somewhat. Struck with only average details, there is no hope of ever getting a FB designation, yet overall sharpness is still acceptable.
Low Estimate: $340.00
