1919-D Mercury Dime. MS-65 FB (NGC).This is a gorgeous Gem that will appeal to even the most discerning Mercury dime enthusiast. Lightly toned around the peripheries, both sides are brilliant in the centers with attractive satin luster. The strike is razor sharp from the rims to the centers and fully deserving of the Full Bands designation from NGC. The typical survivor of this 9,939,000-piece mintage is well worn and confined to grades such as Good and VG. Persistent buyers will usually be able to procure an Uncirculated example, but such pieces are often softly struck in the centers and/or around the peripheries. Expertly produced and quite well preserved, this is one of the finest 1919-D dimes that we have offered in recent memory -- a coin worthy of the strongest bid.From the High Rise Collection.
