Description
1942 Mercury Dime, PR69
Virtually Perfect, Finest Certified
1942 10C PR69 NGC. Proof set production was suspended after
1942 because of wartime priorities. Most of the attention was
focused on the nickel denomination, which switched composition
during the year, and this resulted in the inclusion of both types
of five cent coins in proof sets issued later in the year. Despite
the distractions, 22,329 proof dimes were coined in 1942, and proof
dimes of this date are justly famous for their high quality. The
present coin is a superb example of that celebrated quality. The
strike is razor sharp, with precise definition on all design
elements. The surfaces are technically perfect, with absolutely no
flaws detected. Perhaps the most impressive feature of this Superb
example is the lovely toning, with brilliant, stone-white centers
yielding to iridescent bands of green, blue, and lavender at the
borders. This specimen is the only coin certified PR69 by either of
the leading grading services (3/10).(Registry values: N2998)Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 27DN, PCGS# 5077, GSID# 4647)
