Owner Comments:

Mercury Dimes my favorite Dime type, minted from 1916-1945, where part of a coin design renaissance of the early 20th century. This example has great eye appeal that is difficult to capture in 1 obverse picture. Holding under a light and rotating one can see a rainbow of colors on the obverse of this nearly flawless proof coin with deep mirrors. It was recognized with the Star designation on this PF68 Dime. While the 1941 issue has the second highest mintage of all Mercury Dime Proofs, only the 1936 issue saw fewer earn a PF68 grade.
