The 1931-D Mercury Dime was struck at the Denver Mint with a recorded mintage of 1,260,000 coins — the 4th-lowest of the 77 circulation-strike issues in the mercury dime series, and 20% of the 6,210,000 mercury dimes the Mint produced across all facilities in 1931.
A low mintage that fooled nobody - collectors hoarded the 1931 issues from day one, so survival is far better than the figure suggests.
A full collector's note for this issue — survival, strike character, and what to check before buying — is on the writing schedule; the figures above are the permanent record.
