Description

1947-S Mercury Dime, NGC MS-68 FB. A superb gem example of this late-date Mercury Dime from the San Francisco Mint, featuring exceptional Full Bands (FB) designation. The 1947-S represents one of the final years of this beloved numismatic series before the design transitioned to the Roosevelt Dime in 1946. Struck with remarkable precision, this NGC MS-68 FB specimen displays extraordinary mint state preservation with exceptional luster and sharp, intricate details. The Full Bands designation indicates crisp, well-defined horizontal bands on the fasces reverse, a highly prized characteristic among advanced Mercury Dime collectors. Surface quality is pristine, with minimal contact marks and exceptional eye appeal characteristic of the highest mint state grades. The 1947-S issue represents a late-production year for the Mercury Dime, with relatively moderate mintage. This particular example stands among the finest known, likely representing a top-tier population in the NGC census. Collectors seeking a premium quality representative of this classic Winged Liberty Head Dime series will find this lot particularly compelling.
