1919-D Mercury Dime. MS-63 FB (PCGS). CAC.

1919-D Mercury Dime. MS-63 FB (PCGS). CAC.，This is an exceptionally well produced 1919-D dime, an issue that typically has noticeable lack of detail in the centers and/or near the rims. Both sides of this piece are sharply to fully struck in virtually all areas, with only the letter E in ONE on the reverse revealing appreciable softness. The surfaces are fully lustrous with warm golden iridescent toning and are nice enough to suggest a higher Choice grade. A key date condition rarity in the Mercury dime series, most survivors from this 9,939,000-piece issue are well worn. The typical Mint State example is poorly struck with limited eye appeal, and even such pieces are scarce in numismatic circles. This is a superior quality coin for both the issue and the assigned grade that is worthy of serious bidder consideration.，From the A.J. Vanderbilt Collection. Acquired from Joe Flynn Coin Co., March 1979; via Stacks.，
