Proof Mercury Dimes
1936 10C PR67 NGC. The Mint resumed coinage of proof issues in 1936, with a small total of 4,130 proof Mercury dimes. The coins were well received, but it took a few years for demand to reach the levels attained by the proof coinage of earlier years. Examples at the Superb Proof level are decidedly scarce. The present example is a magnificent specimen with a razor-sharp strike, nice reflectivity, and light golden toning. Census: 90 in 67 (3 in 67+, 4 in 67★), 2 finer (5/17).
