1941-D 10C, FB

Description

1941-D Mercury Dime, FB, NGC MS-67. This exceptional 1941-D dime represents a premium example of the final decade of Mercury dime production. Struck at the Denver Mint, this specimen exhibits the coveted Full Bands (FB) designation on the reverse, indicating sharp, complete separation of the fasces bands—a hallmark of superior strike quality that eludes the majority of surviving examples from this era. Graded NGC MS-67, this dime displays excellent luster and eye appeal consistent with the grade. The 1941-D is a readily obtainable date in the Mercury series, but high-grade examples with Full Bands designation command respect among discerning collectors. The NGC MS-67 grade represents an attractive middle ground between technical perfection and collector accessibility, offering strong eye appeal without the premium associated with higher numerical grades. Mercury dimes remain among the most popular twentieth-century American series, prized for their artistic design and historical significance. This lot represents a solid acquisition for both type collectors seeking a quality representative of the series and Mercury dime specialists building comprehensive date and mintmark sets.
