1919-D Mercury Dime. NGC graded MS-65. Intenselu lustrous and delicately toned. The Denver Mint produced 9.9 million dimes in 1919. However, since most entered circulation, the 1919-D is a well known condition rarity that rivals the 1916-D at the present grade level. An undeniably original toned specimen, both sides are show beautiful iridescence from the underlying frost that is most noticeable on the obverse where the field is more exposed before and behind Liberty's portrait. The underlying frosty luster is virtually superb in intensity while the surfaces retain their abrasion-free appearance even under a magnifying glass. We come to an end with to the striking quality, and, once again, this Mercury dime does not disappoint! Unlike many other high-grade survivors of this issue, the powerful impression draws forth keen-edged central and peripheral detail on both sides. With virtues such as these, is it any wonder that this coin will draw bidders from near and far?
Estimated Value $1,400 - 1,600.
