The 1917-S has a relatively large mintage for early branch mint Mercury dimes. In fact, the 1917-S is the highest mintage pre-1941 S-mint Mercury dime . Not surprising, the 1917-S is fairly available in circulated grades. Mint state examples are scarce and Gems are very scarce. Strike is usually not a problem with this issue and full band examples can be found without difficulty. Luster is usually more satiny than creamy.

Rarity and Survival Estimates Learn More

Grades	Survival Estimate The Survival Estimate represents an average of one or more experts opinions as to how many examples survive of a particular coin in three categories: 1) all grades, 2) 60 or better, and 3) 65 or better. These estimates are based on a variety of sources, including population reports, auction appearances, and personal knowledge. Survival estimates include coins that are raw, certified by PCGS, and certified by other grading services.

The higher the number, the more rare the coin.	Relative Rarity by Type Relative Rarity By Type ranks the rarity of this coin with all other coins of this Type. Lower numbers indicate rarer coins.
