Description
1930 Mercury Dime. MS-67 FB (PCGS).
Glazed with deep amber, violet, and sapphire colors over lustrous surfaces on which no marks are detectable to the naked eye. Far scarcer in Mint State than a respectable mintage of 6,770,000 pieces might imply, the 1930 suffered an unusually high rate of attrition through circulation for a Depression era Mercury dime. By way of contrast, many examples of the lower mintage 1930-S (1,843,000 coins struck) were withheld from entering commerce and eventually snapped up by astute contemporary numismatists. At the MS-67 FB grade level the present example numbers among the finest certified and would do justice to any advanced collection.
PCGS# 4979. NGC ID: 23J5.
PCGS Population: 29; 9 finer in this category (all MS-67+ FB).
From the Fort Lee Collection, Part II.
