<p>[QUOTE=&quot;swhuck, post: 965570, member: 21044&quot;]I don&#039;t have a copy of Dave&#039;s book in front of me (I think I own one at home), but it was interesting to look at the catalog entry for the 1939-D in our ANA auction. The entry said: </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&#039;In his 2005 reference on the Mercury dime series, David Lange called the 1939-D &quot;the quintessential type coin&quot; and &quot;perhaps the most consistently attractive Mercury dime in the entire series.&quot; &#039;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I think the context here, about whether the coin is a suitable type coin, is a little different than the quote you mentioned in the original post, which was strictly about the strike of the coin. 1921 dimes were well-struck, too, but they make horrible type cons for obvious reasons. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
