1945-S Micro S Dime, MS68 Full Bands
Beautiful Multicolor Toning
Registry Set Upgrade

1945-S 10C Micro S, FS-512, MS68 Full Bands PCGS. After the 1942/1 and '42/1-D overdates, the Micro S Mercury dime is the only other major variety in both the Guide Book and the PCGS Set Registry. Both strike and preservation play into the challenge of acquiring a Registry-worthy example, and MS67 Full Bands representatives are usually the finest seen at auction. In the past decade, we have previously handled only a single MS68 Full Bands Micro S dime besides the previous appearance of the current coin, which was graded by NGC. PCGS reports four MS68 Full Bands examples, one of which is offered here. The finest at NGC are two MS68 Full Bands coins (3/24), which may reflect duplicate submissions or crossovers.

This representative boasts immense visual appeal. The obverse displays bold, concentric rings of midnight-blue, amber-orange, forest-green, cherry-red, and lemon-gold around the fully brilliant center, while the reverse exhibits tighter rings of the same around the periphery with a blush of light golden color over the interior. Coupled with the bold strike and pristine surfaces, the overall eye appeal is seemingly unrivaled. Population: 4 in 68 Full Bands, 0 finer (3/24).
