1921 Mercury Dime PCGS VF30 CAC

CAC approved. I have long found it very difficult to buy 1921 and 1921-D dimes in mid-grades and in great condition (condition being completely distinct from grade).  While this coin's condition is not perfect, it is exceptional...in hand, there is luster underlying the fabulous, antique light golden patina, and the surfaces are very smooth to the naked eye. On close inspection, a few excess marks can be found, but that sort of thing has always been secondary to me...the absolute originality found here will always win the day.
