1944-D Mercury Dime. MS-68 FB (PCGS). A breathtakingly beautiful Superb Gem that approaches numismatic perfection for this otherwise plentiful World War II era issue. Aglow with billowy satin luster, both sides exhibit delicate silvery tinting that yields to a blush of bold reddish-gold iridescence at the left obverse border. Fully struck and expertly preserved, even the finest Mercury dime set would benefit from inclusion of this coin. PCGS# 5053. NGC ID: 23KC. From the George Schwenk Collection.
