Single Finest Certified Mercury Dime
1938 PR69

1938 10C PR69 ★ NGC. The finest certified survivor from the proof mintage of 8,728 Mercury dimes in 1938, this piece would form the keystone of a memorable Registry Set. The obverse boasts a silver center, with concentric bands of amber, lilac, and jade radiating outward. The reverse has more-modest daubs of the same shades only at the extreme rims, with ice-blue and gray-gold accents in the centers. Both sides are highly reflective, but it is the coloration that garnered the Star kicker. A specimen that will likely remain unimprovable. This is the only Mercury dime of any date graded PR69 ★ at NGC (7/10).
