1943-D MS65 FB Silver Mercury Dime $298

1943-D MS65 FB Silver Mercury Dime $298 This 1943-D Mercury Dime is a premium numismatic specimen struck at the Denver Mint during the height of World War II. Composed of 90% silver, this coin has been professionally graded Mint State 65 (MS65) by NGC, signifying a high-quality uncirculated strike with attractive luster and minimal surface marks. Crucially, it carries the "FB" or Full Bands designation, a highly coveted attribute among collectors indicating that the horizontal tie bands on the reverse fasces are fully separated and distinct, proving an exceptionally sharp and complete strike. The Denver issues of this era are known for their strong production quality, and this piece showcases the iconic Winged Liberty Head design by Adolph A. Weinman in superior condition. Encapsulated in a protective Heritage slab for long-term preservation and authenticity, this coin represents a significant find for Winged Liberty Head specialists seeking a combination of mid-war history and technical excellence. Condition: This 1943-D Mercury Dime is graded MS65 FB, representing a Gem Uncirculated state with Full Bands. The MS65 designation indicates a high-quality strike with attractive luster and minimal surface marks or distractions. The FB (Full Bands) designation is a premium strike type for this series, signifying that the horizontal bands on the fasces on the reverse are fully defined and separated, which is a key indicator of a strong strike. Struck at the Denver Mint, the coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. Historically, it was minted during the height of World War II, a period where Denver often produced high-quality strikes compared to other mints. From a collector's standpoint, the 1943-D is a common date, but the MS65 FB grading significantly elevates its desirability and value. While the provided image shows a "Retail: $149" label, the current market value for an MS65 FB example typically ranges between $100 and $150; a $298 asking price would be significantly above the standard market rate for this specific grade and year.
