1939-D NGC MS66 FB CAC

This outstanding 1939-D Mercury Dime, certified NGC MS66 Full Bands with CAC approval, is a true gem for advanced collectors. Boasting sharp strike quality and fully defined horizontal band detail, this Denver-mint beauty delivers blazing luster with clean, frosty surfaces that exemplify the grade. The coveted Full Bands designation confirms complete separation on the fasces, while the green CAC sticker adds an extra layer of confidence that this coin sits solidly within (or above) its already lofty grade. High-end Mercuries like this don’t come around often—especially with this combination of eye appeal, technical excellence, and third-party affirmation.

Now for a little fun from 1939: while this dime was fresh off the presses, The Wizard of Oz first hit theaters, Batman made his comic debut, and America was still paying just 10 cents for a movie ticket (try that today!). Meanwhile, World War II was beginning overseas, swing music ruled the airwaves, and someone probably used this very dime to buy a Coca-Cola—or maybe tried to impress a date with a jukebox song. More than eight decades later, this Mercury has traded soda fountains for slab holders, but it still packs plenty of charm—and a lot more value than it ever did in 1939.
