Description du lot

Exquisite, virtually pristine surfaces are enhanced by subtle iridescent toning in powder blue and champagne-gold. Billowy mint luster and a razor sharp strike further enhance the desirability of this gorgeous Ultra Gem Mercury dime. The 1939 may be a common issue in an absolute sense, but as David W. Lange noted in his 2005 reference <em>The Complete Guide to Mercury Dime</em>s, "The rarity of fully struck coins is emphasized by the low percentage of certified examples designated as FB." That offered here combines strike and condition rarity into a single package that advanced Mercury dime collectors will find irresistible.
