Description

1934-D Mercury Dime, FB, PCGS MS67. This exceptional 1934-D dime represents a premium example of this Denver Mint issue from the final decade of Mercury Dime production. Struck at the Denver Mint with a mintage of 6,772,000 pieces, this specimen achieves the coveted FB (Full Bands) designation, indicating sharp, complete horizontal bands on the reverse fasces—a key feature sought by Mercury Dime specialists. The PCGS grade of MS67 places this coin at the upper echelon of the market, with only 14 examples graded finer across the entire population of 60 certified pieces. The coin displays the classic design by Adolph Alexander Weinman, featuring Lady Liberty in profile on the obverse and the bound fasces on the reverse. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this dime maintains the precious metal content standard for U.S. circulating coinage of the era. At this premium grade level with Full Bands designation, the strike quality and luster are exceptional, making this an attractive addition to advanced Mercury Dime collections or type sets focused on high-grade Denver Mint issues.
