- Impressive Gem Full Bands 1921-D Dime 1921-D Mercury Dime. MS-66 FB (PCGS). Gold Shield Holder. Offered is a remarkable Gem Full Bands example of this low mintage, key date issue. Satiny surfaces are silky smooth and dusted with iridescent golden toning. Fully struck from the rims to the centers, this is a lovely example that is sure to find its way into a high quality Mercury dime set. Dime production at the Denver Mint amounted to 1,080,000 pieces, a sharp reduction from the previous year's total of 19,171,000 coins, attributable to the economic recession of 1921 and 1922 that followed the United States' booming economy during World War One. Scarcer than the similarly elusive 1921 in circulated grades, the 1921-D is an interesting issue as far as the quality of Mint State survivors are concerned. While such pieces are rare by the standards of the Mercury dime series, Full Bands examples make up the majority of the Uncirculated population in numismatic circles. On the other hand, most 1921-D dimes are softly defined around the peripheries. A noteworthy departure from this norm, the present example exhibits sharp, distinct rims and bold to full definition on the adjacent design elements. It is expertly preserved, as well, and sure to elicit strong bids from Mercury dime enthusiasts. PCGS Population: 22; 6 finer in this category (MS-67 FB finest). PCGS# 4937. NGC ID: 23HF.
