1918-D. SEGS graded
MS-65 Full Split Bands. Frosty and bright, this coin is completely white as

grades.

Lot 2184
1919-S. Mint error.
PCGS graded MS-63 Full bands. Uncentered Broadstrike. This error coin is
frosty and bright, with a hint of gold toning starting to form. The coin is
struck off center about 10 percent towards 7 o'clock on the obverse, and we
note an ejection mark above DIME and CA of AMERICA. A very rare date this nice,
and no doubt one of the finest errors of this date to survive.

1920-S. PCGS graded
MS-64 Premium Quality. A blazing solid white example for the numismatist,
with fully struck devices throughout, including the often weak bands on the
reverse fasces. The fields and surfaces are very clean for the grade. If you
love stone white coins, then this one will suit quite well. PCGS has graded 60
this high with just 21 higher in the full band category.
Estimated Value
$2,000-2,500.

Lot 2190
1928-S. Mint Error.
PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bands. 20% Off Center. A rare date in this
condition, especially so as a mint error! Struck about 20 percent off center
towards noon on the obverse, with just enough of the reverse showing to capture
the "S" Mintmark. Frosty and white, with full bands at the center of the
reverse. An impressive error for the specialist.
Estimated Value $1,000-UP.
Lot 2191
1940. PCGS graded
Proof 67. Splendid reddish gold toning around the periphery of the obverse
and reverse, with solid white at the centers. Fully struck as expected, but
especially clean for an early proof issue, as most are found with handling
marks. If you need a really high end coin, and appreciate lovely toning, then
here is a great piece to obtain. PCGS has graded 178 this high, and we note
only 8 have been graded higher, all PR-68.
Estimated Value $500-UP.
Lot 2192
