1939-D Dime, MS69 Full Bands
Practically Unimprovable Example

1939-D 10C MS69 Full Bands PCGS. From a moderate mintage of nearly 24.4 million pieces, the 1939-D Mercury dime is an available date in all grades up to the Superb Gem level. The issue is known for high production values, and the present coin is an outstanding example of this well-regarded date. The striking details are full, with precise definition on the all-important bands. The surfaces glow with satiny luster under incredible rainbow toning. Each side displays vivid iridescent colors, including purple, russet, lavender, blue, and emerald-green. The fields are technically perfect, with no defects of any kind present on both sides. PCGS has certified only 16 coins in MS69 Full Bands, while NGC has graded another three examples at this exalted level, and unsurprisingly neither firm has seen any specimen finer (7/14). It is difficult to believe that the present coin could be improved upon, either in technical merit or intense visual appeal.
