Description
1945 Dime, MS65 Full Bands
Seldom Seen With Such Strong Detail
1945 10C MS65 Full Bands PCGS. Those unfamiliar with the ins
and outs of the Mercury dime series could be forgiven for not
immediately recognizing the significance of what might otherwise
appear to be a pedestrian offering. Indeed, the 1945 dime poses no
challenge at all in MS65 condition. PCGS has graded more than 3,600
submissions at that level with thousands of coins finer. However,
what sets this Gem apart as a major rarity is the quality of its
strike. The 1945 Mercury dime is the white whale of the series for
collectors who demand examples with Full Bands definition.This piece is fully struck and likely an early impression from the dies, with raised polish lines in the fields on each side. Near-brilliant surfaces exhibit a few thin splashes of golden color. One small tick occurs on the truncation of Liberty's bust. Population: 39 in 65 Full Bands, 22 finer (7/21).(Registry values: N2998)
Coin Index Numbers: (NGC ID# 23KE, PCGS# 5057, Greysheet# 4522)
Weight: 2.49 grams
Metal: 90% Silver, 10% Copper
