Description

1938 10C PR68 PCGS. In 1938 the interest in the new Jefferson nickel boosted the mintage of that issue to nearly 20,000 proofs, but the 1938 Mercury dime saw a modest production, based on Mint orders received, of 8,728 pieces. This marvelous Superb Gem offers a touch of streaky powder-gray and amber patina on the obverse, with a satiny silver-gray background. The reverse has a bit less color from the same palette, while adding a dab of charcoal. Despite small hints of color, silver-gray predominates. This piece is one of only six certified in this grade at PCGS, with none finer (6/10).
