For Mercury Dime collectors, December begins off robust at GreatCollections as bidding ends on the primary for this toned, top-pop Proof 1941 Mercury Dime graded PR68+ by CAC. PCGS has graded solely seven at that grade with none finer, and NGC stories just one grading occasion a half-point finer at PF69.
Apparently, whereas virtually the whole run of 1941 Mercury Dime Proofs got here off the meeting line with a superb end, just one instance has ever earned a Cameo designation in 30+ years of third-party grading.
As an alternative, a collector is more likely to come across toned or tarnished specimens of the 1941 Mercury Dime Proof, and attractively toned examples just like the one on supply normally promote for a premium. The present piece options darkish annular firming on a lot of the coin’s floor aside from the middle and most of Liberty’s head. This coin final bought elsewhere in Might 2024 for $7,500.
