Crisp 1942/1-D Mercury Dime, MS 65 Full Bands PCGS

1942/1-D 10C MS 65 Full Bands PCGS. As befits the grade, both sides of this coin are free of even the most trivial surface blemish. Delicate lilac-gray iridescence overlays every feature, but the underlying mint frost in undiminished in intensity. The devices are fully struck, and the all-important central crossbands are split from end to end.
The 1942/1-D dime was born out of the Mint's hectic production schedule of the Second World War. To save time, an unused 1941-dated die was given a second impression from a 1942-dated hub before being shipped west to the Denver Mint. This overdate was not discovered until 1962, and, as such, high quality examples are few and far between in today's hobby.
From the Patrick J. Mullen Collection.
