1930 10c

Coin / United States of America / 1930 / Philadelphia / Mercury Dimes / 10c

1930 Philadelphia-mint Mercury dimes are quite plentiful, with ample supplies in virtually all grades through MS65. Many of these pieces were struck well and owe to a robust supply of Full Bands specimens into the Gem Mint State range, though examples grading higher than MS66 are quite scarce.
