1938 Mercury Dime (10c)

Superb gem proof with booming, watery mirrors and a bright, silvery glow that pops in hand. The obverse shows attractive speckled gold and russet peripheral color that frames the portrait, while the reverse is mostly brilliant with just a whisper of champagne at the rim. Razor-sharp devices and remarkably clean fields for the grade drive the eye appeal. Housed in a PCGS holder with a green CAC sticker - a well-deserved endorsement.
