1945 Mercury Silver Dime PCGS MS64 $214

1945 Mercury Silver Dime PCGS MS64 $214 This 1945 Mercury Silver Dime represents the final year of production for one of America's most beloved coin designs. Professionally graded by PCGS as MS64 (Mint State 64), this specimen showcases a brilliant original luster and sharp strikes characteristic of a high-grade uncirculated coin. The obverse features Adolph A. Weinman's iconic depiction of Liberty in a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, while the reverse displays the Roman fasces and olive branch, signifying strength and peace. Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this Philadelphia-minted treasure serves as a historical artifact from the conclusion of World War II. The MS64 designation ensures that the coin possesses strong eye appeal with only minor, scattered marks, making it an excellent addition for collectors looking to complete a high-quality Mercury Dime set. Encapsulated in a secure PCGS holder for long-term preservation and authenticity, this coin combines numismatic rarity with precious metal value. Condition: This 1945 Mercury Dime is in Mint State 64 (MS64) condition, indicating it is an uncirculated coin with a pleasing luster and only minor scattered contact marks or surface imperfections. It was struck at the Philadelphia Mint, as evidenced by the absence of a mint mark on the reverse. The metal content consists of 90% silver and 10% copper, a standard composition for United States coinage of that era. Historically, 1945 was the final year of the Mercury Dime series, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, making it a significant bookend for collectors. The collector value is driven by its high uncirculated grade and its status as the series' conclusion, though the $214 price point is significantly higher than the standard market value for an MS64 Philadelphia strike, which typically retails closer to the $25-$35 range. The strike type is a standard business strike, and the coin has been professionally authenticated and graded by PCGS, one of the industry's leading third-party grading services. 1945, Mercury Dime, 10C, MS64, PCGS, Graded, Numismatics, Silver Coin, United States, Mint State, Coin Collecting, Winged Liberty Head, Fasces, Rare Coin, US Currency 1945 Mercury Dime, PCGS MS64, Silver Dime, Rare Coins, Numismatics, Winged Liberty Head, US Mint, Graded Coins, Collectible Currency, 1945 10C MS64 Bidder is fully responsible for: - Determining what an item is worth to you - Evaluating the condition and authenticity of items - Making informed bidding decisions The auction house does explicitly not: - Provide appraisals - Grade items - Authenticate items - Test items - Third-Party Grading is that of the 3rd party and not done by us -Gold, Silver, Platinum, Copper, Gold-Gilded, Gold layered or Silver Plated, Electic Plating, The Metal Content or purity is not guaranteed, tested, or verified.
