Lot Description

Lovely near-Gem Uncirculated quality for this eagerly sought low mintage entry in the Mercury dime series. Both sides are lightly toned, the obverse in champagne-gold and the reverse in slightly warmer pinkish-apricot. Fully lustrous with an impressively sharp strike that is most notable at the central crossbands on the reverse. Smooth and inviting, this coin is sure to have no difficulty finding its way into a high quality Mercury dime set. Produced to the extent of just 1,080,000 pieces, the 1921-D is scarce to rare in both circulated and Mint State grades. Examples are more elusive than those of the 1921, perhaps not surprisingly given the lower mintage for the Denver Mint issue.
