Rainbow toned 1945 Mercury dime! This coin wears colorful natural-looking toning, with purple and magenta, gold, and touches of blue across the obverse, and softer pastel and russet-gold tones on the reverse. The color shifts as the coin is tilted in the light, so please look through all eight photos, taken at different angles.
Offered here is a genuine 1945 Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) dime struck in 90% silver at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark). 1945 was the final year of the Mercury dime, which was replaced by the Roosevelt dime in 1946.
Grade: Extremely Fine (XF). LIBERTY, the motto and the date are bold. The hairline and the wing detail are clear, with light wear on the high points of the cheek, hair and wing. On the reverse, the rods of the fasces are distinct and the diagonal bands are complete, with wear at the center of the bands. Heavy toning can hide light wear, so the grade is our opinion from the photos.
Condition, please read: scattered light marks and fine scratches, mostly on the wing, cheek and obverse fields. The reverse toning is uneven, with russet spots in the fields and lighter areas on the fasces. No holes, bends or rim damage seen. Please view all the photos, which are the best description.
