CAC. An exceptional Premium Gem example of this key-date Mercury dime, displaying strong satiny luster with attractive original silver-gray surfaces and subtle golden highlights. The strike is far superior to what is typically encountered for this notoriously weakly struck issue, with excellent definition through the central devices and reverse fasces. The surfaces are remarkably clean, fully deserving of the MS66 grade and CAC approval. A standout example of one of the most difficult Mercury dimes to locate in high-grade Mint State.
