Lot 631
1921-D Mercury Dime. PCGS graded MS-65 Full Bands. Stunning, simply stunning. Delicate gold tones on either side and boldly struck throughout. Examination with a 10X glass finds only the tiniest of ticks, and precious few of those. We can't imagine anyone finding fault with this coin, other than the well deserved strong price that it will bring! PCGS has graded 47 as such of this desirable rarity, and 15 graded higher, all MS-66 FB. A classic rarity in gem condition that will always be the highlight of an advanced Mercury dime collection, just as its been a highlight in Dr. Benson's collection for the last 57+ years.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 4,000.
From the Benson collection and purchased from James Macallister on September 25, 1944 in a partial collection of Mercury dimes for $100.00.
