I could not withold this baby any longers - we've being spending alot of time together - tonite it is time I came out of the closet with it! This Gem was in Mike Printz's stable - it was love at first site - actually we eloped!!!image

This totally original 1916-S PCGS MS-66FB (looks better than many 67FB's) is soooo freagin colorful - album toned super Gem presents with irridescent colors of red, purple, light blue along with traces of amber & green - the reverse is equally drop dead gorgous with center white framed with deep amber and purple toning. Totally orginal & fabls. preservation, frosty, super clean pristine fields and great strike with super totally split bands.

    Marc:

    That's probably a decent looking coin but it's got all that crud on it. Can you dip it so that we can see what it really looks like?

    I looked at that coin on Mike's web site and fell in love with it ( "crud" and all ) . Not collecting MS Mercury dimes was the only thing that kept me from having him send this coin to me...I love the look of this coin !

    Congrats on a nice pick up !
