1934-D Mercury Dime NGC MS64 FB PL
Proof-Like Full Bands 1934-D Mercury Dime — Finest Known
In the world of vintage Mercury Dimes, one subsection quickly rises to the top — those designated as “Full Bands” (FB). Unlike their peers, these coins show the bands that surround the fasces on the reverse in full detail, unlike the majority of coins on which the bands have a softer appearance.
It’s no surprise, then, that this Full Bands 1934-D Mercury Dime struck at the Denver Mint is also certified in Proof-Like (PL) condition — a sign that this coin was likely struck with a fresh die to give it incredibly crisp details and shining fields that make it stand out from the crowd. Coming from an original mintage of just 6,772,000 coins, this Mercury Dime comes certified and graded by the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) as being in Choice Uncirculated Mint State-64 (MS64) condition.
Combined, NGC and the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) have graded a total of only 26 Proof-Like coins for the entire Mercury Dime series. NGC has just one other coin of this date certified as Proof-Like, with none graded higher — making this the finest of its kind in the world! The National Numismatic Collection at the Smithsonian® in Washington, D.C. doesn’t even have an example of this date!
BEAUTIFUL CLASSIC DESIGN – The Mercury Dime features the iconic image of Lady Liberty with a winged Phrygian cap that makes her look like the Roman god Mercury. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the image was so popular that when the U.S. Mint struck its first Palladium Eagle coin in 2017 it selected Weinman’s design!
STRUCK IN HIGHLY-PURE SILVER – Mercury Dimes were struck in 2.5 grams of highly pure 90% fine silver and measure 17.9 mm in diameter.
UNITED STATES LEGAL TENDER—The Mercury Dime was 10 cents legal tender in the United States at a time when a dime could purchase a Superman comic book, a loaf of bread or two bottles of Coca-Cola.
