Lot 3612
1937 Mercury Dime. NGC graded Proof 68. A gem white coin, phenomenal quality "as struck." Only 5,756 struck. Isolated swirls of silvery iridescence confirm the originality of this scarcer early Proof Mercury Dime example. Fully lustrous and quite clean for the issue. Fortunately for the strike, it, like the luster, is outstanding. A well-struck example with simply spectacular details. There are no bothersome weakness on the high points, which may indicate it was an early strike from new dies. Many times, the Mint removed the dies from the press to repolish them, resulting in weak areas within the design. Pop 34; 1 finer in 68+.
Estimated Value $3,500 - 3,600.
