1930 Mercury Dime (10c)

The 1930 Mercury Dime represents a fascinating year in American numismatics - produced during the first full year of the Great Depression when many coins went straight from the mint into circulation. While the mintage was substantial, premium examples like this were seldom saved.

This superb MS66FB CAC example showcases blazing cartwheel luster and pristine surfaces. The full bands on the reverse are crisp and well-defined, showing the strong strike this coin received at the mint. The brilliant white surfaces are complemented by subtle satin frost, and the eye appeal is outstanding.
