1921-D Mercury 10C NGC MS66
The coinage of dimes was greatly curtailed during 1921 and suspended altogether during 1922. The Mint took advantage of a brief but severe recession to direct its efforts toward recoining the silver dollars destroyed under the Pittman Act of 1918. Having achieved most of this recoinage by the middle of 1923, the Mint resumed its production of subsidiary silver pieces. With only a few exceptions, mintage figures for the dime remained fairly substantial throughout the 1920s.

Stunning, simply stunning. Delicate tones on either side and boldly struck throughout barring the two crossbands on the reverse. A frosty Gem with glistening surfaces: exactly the sort of quality Mercury dime specialists admire.
