There are a handful of years that produce high value coins within a specific series of coins. The 1926 Mercury Dime is one of those years. The San Francisco (S) minted coin in certified MS-63 condition will likely be able to get an asking price of $1,750 at auction. The Denver (D) minted version will drop down to about $275 for the same grade coin. What a different an (S) makes!
