1936 Mercury Dime, PR68
Extraordinary Brilliant Proof, None Finer

1936 10C PR68 PCGS. Just seven dates comprise the entire proof series for Mercury dimes, making for intense competition among Registry Set enthusiasts and series specialists to obtain the finest examples known. Coins that achieve the finest grade invariably display characteristics of not only high quality, but a certain "éclat" -- a flash of brilliance to raise their visual impact above all others.

This extraordinary Superb Gem proof offers the expected pristine surfaces and full strike, with a faint rainbow iridescence that is discerned at the obverse border. The silver surfaces show no imperfections or compromise whatsoever. Just seven pieces have attained such recognition by PCGS and NGC combined. A prize for the collector in search of only the finest Mercury dime proofs. Population: 4 in 68, 0 finer (5/22).
