Lot Description

Stunning Proof 1941 Mercury Dime 1941 Mercury Dime. Proof-68+ (PCGS). CAC. Here is a virtually pristine specimen that really needs to be seen to be fully appreciated. Sparkling silver-tinged centers yield to crimson-red iridescence around the obverse periphery, the reverse border with only a hint of similar toning. An exquisite Proof of the date, tied for finest certified at PCGS. From a mintage of 16,557 Proof dimes achieved during the first year of the United States' participation in the Second World War, although few are as expertly preserved and aesthetically pleasing as this Ultra Gem. Worthy of inclusion in the finest numismatic collection. PCGS Population: 3; 0 finer. PCGS# 5076. NGC ID: 27DM. Click here for certification details from PCGS.
