Bold 1921-D Dime, Gem Mint State

1921-D 10C MS65 PCGS. The 1921-D had a relatively low mintage of only 1.08 million pieces, which ranks it behind only the 1916-D in terms of overall rarity in the Mercury dime series. Gems are very scarce. This issue is notorious for weak peripheries but the present example is an exception; the lettering on both sides is strong, the 1 in the date and the W in WE are full and completely separated from the rim, and the mintmark is strong. The middle bands on the fasces are essentially separated, though the separation is not deep. The surfaces on this coin are highly lustrous and exceptionally smooth. Each side possesses multicolored orange, green, gold, gray, and violet toning. An exceptionally attractive example of this key date. Population: 12 in 65, 10 finer (7/10).(Registry values: N2998)
