Description
1945-P Dime, MS66 Full Bands
The Key Strike Rarity to the Mercury Dime Series
1945 10C MS66 Full Bands NGC. Thirty years ago, when Harold
Kritzman was on a one-man campaign to educate collectors and
dealers about Full Band dimes, it came as quite a surprise to learn
that the key to the Full Band series was the 1945-P. After all,
with more than 159 million pieces struck how hard could it be? The
intervening years have answered the question: it is extremely
difficult to locate this issue in any grade with complete
definition on the central bands. Of course, such a coin in MS66 is
even rarer (and more valuable) with only a handful of pieces known.
NGC has only certified six pieces in this grade with one finer
(8/07). This is a splendid piece with thick, frosted mint luster.
Just the slightest hint of toning is seen on each side with a
couple of specks of deeper golden present. Essentially defect-free,
the surfaces appear clean enough for an even higher grade.
