1945-D 10C Mercury Dime (Full Bands) – PCGS MS66FB – Exceptional Luster

Description

Elevate your collection with this stunning 1945-D Mercury Dime, certified Mint State 66 Full Bands (MS66FB) by PCGS.

Struck at the Denver Mint during the final year of the beloved Mercury dime series, this coin features a much lower mintage than its Philadelphia counterpart (just over 40.2 million). What truly sets this specimen apart is the coveted Full Bands (FB) designation, denoting a fully struck set of horizontal cross-bands on the reverse fasces—a detail that often eludes high-grade strikes. Combined with brilliant, eye-catching luster across Adolf A. Weinman’s iconic design, this coin offers phenomenal visual appeal for any advanced collector or registry set.

Out of 2,777 certified at this grade with Full Bands, only 577 examples have been graded higher by PCGS, placing this piece in an elite tier of preservation.
