Owner's Description

MS67 Full Bands 1921-D Dime
One of the Two Finest Certified
1921-D 10C MS67 Full Bands NGC. The 1921-D is definitely a semikey along with the 1921 in the Mercury dime series compared to the vaunted 1916-D key, and grade for grade they are much more available and less expensive than their earlier counterpart. The upside to this, however, is that nice Mint State examples are at least available and comparatively affordable in relation to the '16-D.
The present example, however, is no ordinary Mint State example, but rather one of only two Full Bands examples certified at NGC, and there are none finer (3/11). (The finest at PCGS are 15 MS66 Full Bands submissions.) This piece exhibits superb, swirling mint luster over surfaces that are lightly toned in shades of pale lilac and rose. A pronounced die crack appears on the obverse, running from the rim left of the first 1 to the upper part of the neck, a not-infrequent occurrence on the issue.(Registry values: N7079) (#4937)
