The 1953-D Dime is a very common coin, thus the goal for collectors is to locate the finest possible example -- and that includes the sharpest strike. Fortunately, there are some very nice MS67FB examples out there. For those collectors aspiring to the best of the best, a couple of MS67+FB examples exist, plus at least one NGC MS68FB.
