1938-S 10C Mercury Dime – NGC MS65 – Charming Partial Toning in Vintage "Fatty" Holder

Description

Enhance your collection with this striking 1938-S Mercury Dime, certified Mint State 65 (MS65) by NGC.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint during a lower-mintage year for the series (just 8,090,000 produced), this coin captures an early pre-WWII date that is notably scarce in gem uncirculated condition. Beyond its pristine surfaces and sharp strike on Adolf A. Weinman’s beloved design, this specimen features charming partial toning, adding a splash of original, eye-appealing character that sets it apart from standard white examples.

With only 179 examples graded in MS65 by NGC (and a limited number higher), this gem piece offers a wonderful blend of vintage eye appeal and scarce condition for the discerning collector.
