Mercury Dime

Pristine 1937 Proof Mercury Dime

1937 Mercury Dime. Proof-68+ (PCGS).

A wonderfully original, exceptionally well preserved example of this key date Mercury dime issue. Dominant antique silver patina to both sides, the peripheries are splashed with vivid reddish-russet highlights. Direct lighting calls forth a universally mirrored finish from the dies, but not even the closer inspection reveals a grade-limiting blemish. Fully struck, as befits the method of manufacture, and sure to see spirited bidding among discerning collectors. The second year 1937 is also the second rarest Proof Mercury dime, and this is easily one of the finest survivors from a mintage of 5,756 pieces. Outstanding!
