Owner's Comments

Ex D.L. Hansen. A slippery west coast issue., this scarce Mercury dime issue is elusive in fully struck near-Gem or finer condition, and the present piece is an exceptional example displaying brilliant, satin luster with lovely peripheral iridescence. An original and distinctive Gem dime, suitable for the finest set thanks to its exceptional eye appeal.
