1936. PCGS graded Proof 65 PQ. CAC Approved. Only 4,130 struck. The surface on this issue is nearly always satiny to mid-level mirrored, and the present Gem is no exception with its delicate veil of toning. The strike is essentially pristine. In fact, struck with exactitude by the dies as one expects on a Proof (PCGS # 5071) .
Estimated Value $1,100 - 1,200.

1936. PCGS graded Proof 65. A brilliant untoned gem example. Proof Mercury Dimes were only issued for a short period of seven years, from 1936 to 1942. Mintages were fairly high, compared to previous Proof coin issues from the US Mint, however the mintages are low when compared to later 20th century production (1950s and beyond). For the first year of Proof issuance, the 1936 Proof Mercury Dime saw a total of 4,130 coins made for collectors (PCGS # 5071) .
Estimated Value $850 - 900.

1940. NGC graded Proof 68. A Superb Gem white coin. Fully original and extraordinarily clean with gleaming, mirror-deep fields plus all-brilliant devices. Basically silvery without a hint of color. Struck with technical exactness throughout as well. We note a break in the bridge of Liberty's nose, which is often seen on the Proofs due to difficulties in polishing the Mercury dime dies. Post-1916 silver coins had uneven "basining" due to their modernistic designs. The mint found it troublesome to create the same mirror finish (and frosted relief) that Proofs had in the era of Barber coins. Excessive polishing of the Proof dies on Mercury dimes, and further repolishing during production, caused parts of the design on both sides to vanish, such as the thin stems on the leaves of the intertwined olive sprig on the reverse. Often, some of the leaves disappear entirely! Pop 35; 6 finer, 5 in 68 Star, 1 in 69.
Estimated Value $2,900 - 3,000.

1942. 2 over 1. PCGS graded MS-66. Well struck and fully white. The bands are almost full. Aside from the formidable 1916-D, the 1942/1 is the best known key issue in this series. The overdate is much bolder than the similarly rare 1942/1-D Mercury Dime. This famous variety was struck sometime near the end of 1941. The Philadelphia Mint was rushing to gear up to make dies for the 1942 production run. (Over 300 million Dimes were struck in 1942, the highest mintages of the denomination to that date.) Two obverse dies for the Mercury dime were impressed first with a 1941-dated hub, and then with a 1942-dated hub. One of these stayed in Philadelphia and was used to strike an unknown number of 1942/1 dimes. The other went to the Denver Mint. In the March 1943 Numismatic Scrapbook Magazine there was published a discovery article about the overdate submitted by Arnold Kohn of Kingston, New York. Despite the brief interval before this error was discovered, and the dash by collectors to find them, few coins have come down to today's specialists in elevated levels of preservation such as this lovely MS66 example. According to Walter Breen, most Uncirculated examples of this variety are from four rolls discovered in 1954.
The present premium Gem has blazing luster and silvery color. Although not razor-sharp on the bands (few are), the strike is decidedly above average with very clear overdate 2/1, while the surfaces are nearly pristine. It is clearly a candidate for Mercury Dime with Varieties PCGS Registry Sets. Pop 2; none finer at PCGS (PCGS # 5036) .
Estimated Value $12,000 - 13,000.
