One of the key condition and strike rarities in the Mercury dime series, the 1919-D is typically seen with soft peripheries and rarely found with Full Bands. This gem stands out as a superior survivor with just eight finer graded by PCGS. The peripheral detail is delightfully crisp for the issue and the Full Bands definition on the fasces is clear. Bright mint luster radiates from impressively preserved surfaces uninterrupted by any individually significant contact marks. Rich golden color coats both sides with a crescent of indigo and pink featured on the reverse. A technically and aesthetically extraordinary example worthy of another fine numismatic cabinet! - Mercury Dime
