Lot Description

While one of the most common of all Mercury dimes in Mint State (the original mintage was well over 159 million), this is a MAJOR RARITY with fully struck bands. In GEM full band grades, this is a coin that is in constant demand from advanced collectors. Glossy, brilliant mint luster shows a vibrance that is not often seen on full band examples of this date. The strike is bold with full separation on the bands. The eye appeal is exceptional and there are no serious marks anywhere, just a few minor lines that we note with a strong glass. PCGS 19, NGC 9. The most recent example sold for $13,200 in the 2019 FUN auction, and the current Collector's Universe value is listed at $18,000. EXCESSIVELY RARE any finer, just five have been graded higher. Cert.
