Description
1938 Proof Dime, PR69 ★
Spectacularly Toned, Finest Certified
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. For perspective, it is
also one of only six PR69-graded proofs in the entire series, NGC
and PCGS combined (6/15). The obverse boasts an ice-blue 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 sky-blue and gray-gold accents in the center.
Both sides are highly reflective, but it is the coloration that
garnered the Star kicker. A specimen that will likely remain
unimprovable.Ex: Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 6/2002), lot 5742; Long Beach Signature (Heritage, 2/2003), lot 6565; ANA Signature (Heritage, 8/2010), lot 3095; FUN Signature (Heritage, 1/2011), lot 5500.
