Description

1941-D Mercury Dime, Full Bands, NGC MS-67. This exceptional 1941-D dime represents a premium example of the Denver Mint's Mercury dime production from the final year of this iconic series. The coin exhibits the coveted Full Bands designation, indicating sharp, complete striations visible on the fasces reverse—a hallmark of superior strike quality and eye appeal that collectors actively seek. Graded MS-67 by NGC (Certificate #8663142003), this piece displays lustrous mint surfaces with minimal contact marks consistent with the grade. The Full Bands designation elevates this specimen considerably above standard examples, as many 1941-D dimes fail to achieve this technical requirement due to die wear or striking variations common to the era. The obverse portrait and reverse details remain sharply defined, showcasing the quality of this particular striking. The 1941-D holds numismatic significance as the final year of Mercury dime production before the series' discontinuation. High-grade examples with Full Bands designation remain popular with both Mercury dime specialists and type collectors seeking premium representatives of this beloved design.
