Lot Description

Arguably the FINEST 1942 dime, as it is the only MS68 FB that is approved by CAC. The flawless surfaces are awash in multi-hued pastel patina on both sides. Fifty shades of iridescent toning in pale blue, aquamarine, clear gold, light violet, magenta-rose, emerald and olive green all blend together, and are made all the more vivid by a bold, brilliant original luster. Clearly Mother Nature's paintbrush did some marvelous work here. The eye appeal is spectacular. PCGS 11, NGC 2, CAC 1. This is NOT the NGC/CAC coin that sold back in November 2013, nor is it the Hallett Coin we sold in September 2018. Both of those beautifully toned coins realized $5,288 and $5,523 respectively. The current PCGS Price Guide value is $6,500 and THERE ARE NONE FINER! Bound for the FINEST of Mercury dime sets. Cert. Number 37907356 PCGS # 5035
