1921 AU. 1921 AU.
Lot Title: 1921 AU.
Description: Every Mercury dime enthusiast knows the difficulty of locating examples of 1921 with attractive features from either mint. They are almost always in lower grades, with poor peripheral details. At hand is a 1921 with much above average detail, including cross bands on the fasces that, though not split, do stand up in good relief. Mint luster lurks beneath the vanilla-creme patina.

This lot may contain an item not certified by ANACS, PCGS, or NGC. While Scotsman Auction Co. is typically conservative in our descriptions of items not certified by one of these companies, we cannot guarantee our grading estimation will match their grade. We highly recommend that collectors seeking items certified by a third-party grading service only bid on items that have already been certified. No lot can be returned because of a variance in judgment with regards to grade.

Low Estimate: $600.00
High Estimate: $700.00
