1924-D 10c

Coin / United States of America / 1924 / Denver / Mercury Dimes / 10c

This Denver-mint issue is common in circulated grades and scarce in uncirculated grades, particularly in the Gem range. However, many are well struck and exhibit excellent color and overall eye appeal. Full Bands examples are common enough that they can be found on the market with reasonable frequency and had for a price.
