Losbeschreibung

1945 Mercury Dime. MS-68 (NGC). A brilliant and highly lustrous example with virtually pristine surfaces. Softness in the centers is noted, typical of the issue, but otherwise the striking detail is razor sharp. The 1945 is a legendary strike rarity from the later Mercury dime series, Mint State survivors from a sizeable mintage of 159,130,000 coins plentiful in an absolute sense, yet seldom qualifying for a coveted Full Bands rating from PCGS or NGC. In the finest Uncirculated grades, as here, the 1945 is also a noteworthy condition rarity, the present example an attractive alternative to a Full Bands coin. NGC Census: 8; 0 finer in this category. PCGS# 5056. NGC ID: 23KE. Click here for certification details from NGC.
