Lot Description

Minimally toned, generally satin white surfaces are bold to sharp in strike and provide outstanding eye appeal for this key date Mercury dime. The 1921 is one of the lower mintage issue of the type with only 1,230,000 pieces struck. Demand for circulating coinage fell off during the early 1920s as the American economy stumbled from the boom of World War I back to a peacetime footing. Additionally, the mints were busy striking millions of Morgan silver dollars, the Philadelphia Mint also adding a few of the new Peace dollars before the end of the year. Here is a solid Gem Uncirculated example of the issue that is sure to please the discerning Mercury dime specialist.
