详细说明: Top Pop Superb Gem 1921 Dime 1921 Mercury Dime. MS-67 FB (NGC). This is a breathtakingly beautiful Superb Gem with iridescent gold and turquoise toning. The surfaces remain smooth and lustrous, showing an exceptional strike and an absence of notable friction. Technically and aesthetically superior, this piece is one of the very finest examples known and is tied with the highest graded by PCGS and NGC. The 1921 is one of the lower mintage issues of the type with only 1,230,000 pieces struck. Demand for circulating coinage fell off during the early 1920s as the American economy stumbled from the boom of World War I back to a peacetime footing. Additionally, the mints were busy striking millions of Morgan silver dollars, the Philadelphia Mint also adding a few of the new Peace dollars before the end of the year. Mint State survivors of the 1921 dime are scarce, and although most qualify as Full Bands, the majority are confined to lower grades through MS-64. An undeniable condition rarity, as such, the present Superb Gem is sure to elicit strong bids from advanced Mercury dime enthusiasts. Provenance: From the Fort Lee Collection, Part II.
