1921-D Mercury Dime 10c NGC FAIR 2 Key Date Silver Slabbed - Cert #8668003-002 NOTE: Finding an example in any condition—even heavily worn down to a FAIR 2 grade—is a major win for collectors trying to complete a set. This Coin: * Date/Mint: 1921-D * Denomination: 10¢ Mercury Dime * Certification: NGC * Grade: Fair-2 (FR-2) * Certification #: 8668003-002 * Composition: 90% silver * Authenticity: Professionally authenticated and encapsulated by NGC, which is a major advantage for a key-date coin. Overall, I’d rate this as: * Collectibility: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) * Investment Potential: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ (4/5) * Liquidity: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5) NGC awarded it a straight FR-2 grade. Why this matters: For a key date like the 1921-D Mercury dime, a straight grade is considerably more desirable than a Details grade. Collectors assembling registry sets or complete Mercury dime sets generally prefer straight-graded examples because they’re easier to resell and typically command stronger prices.
