1942/1-D Dime, MS65+ Full Bands
Famous
Guide Book Variety, FS-101

1942/1-D 10C FS-101 MS65+ Full Bands PCGS. CAC. The 1942/1-D is one of the most famous varieties in the Mercury dime series. This Cherrypickers' and Guide Book listing is the result of a hubbing error and clearly shows the underlying 41 below the primary 42 in the date. Doubling also appears on IN GOD WE TRUST. Curiously, all but one Mint State example certified as PCGS are designated as Full Bands.

This strongly struck Gem is high-end for the grade. Totally brilliant surfaces glisten with satiny luster. Aside from a single microscopic tick on the lower diagonal band, both sides appear entirely mark-free. Population: 20 in 65 (3 in 65+) Full Bands, 18 finer. CAC: 11 in 65, 7 finer (1/21).

Coin Index Numbers: (Variety PCGS# 145476, Base PCGS# 5041)
