CoinFacts Details

Owner's Comments

This attractive 1938 Proof Mercury dime exhibits brilliant silver-white surfaces accented by subtle champagne-gold and pale pewter-gray undertones, with reflective fields displaying fine diagonal striations and delicate peripheral toning that lends depth and character to the overall presentation. Liberty's portrait reveals sharply defined facial features, intricate hair detail, and beautifully articulated wing feathers, while the interplay of luminous silver surfaces, warm highlights, and crisp design elements creates an appealing example of this early proof issue with distinctive visual texture and strong eye appeal.
