Lot Description

1945 10c PCGS/CAC MS67+ FB DLRC #: 1794582 // PCGS #: 5057 A popular key date in the Mercury Dime series that is tied with only a single other pieces as the finest graded. This scarce and popular later date issue comes with a notoriously weak strike on the bands of the reverse, causing the vast majority to not display a Full Bands characteristic. This piece is a gorgeously original piece with the scarce (and coveted) CAC seal of approval. With the other examples not obtaining the elusive sticker, this example should be considered as the finest example of this key date with Full Bands. CAC approved for quality. PCGS+ grade for premium quality at the top of end of the assigned grade. * Category : Dimes * Series : Mercury Dimes * Type : Winged liberty head (Mercury) * Years for Type : 1916-1945 * Strike : Business * Denomination : Dime * Mint Location : Philadelphia * Designer : Adolph A.
