Offered here is a genuine 1940 Mercury dime (Winged Liberty Head) struck in 90% silver at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark). Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Mercury dime is one of the most popular 20th century US silver coins.
Grade: Uncirculated. No wear is visible on the high points in the photos: Liberty's hair, cheek and wing feathers are fully detailed, and the fasces rods and olive branch are sharp. Full Bands (FB): the center horizontal bands on the fasces are fully split, a strike quality collectors seek on Mercury dimes. Bright, frosty mint luster covers both sides, with light natural toning (touches of blue and gold, mostly on the reverse).
Condition, please read: a few light hairline scratches on Liberty's cheek and neck and in the right obverse field, scattered light marks in the fields, and a small nick on the reverse rim near DIME. No holes or bends. Please see all the photos, which are the best description.
