Description

1947 10C, FB, NGC MS-68. This exceptional 1947 Mercury Dime represents an outstanding example of this classic American coinage. The coin exhibits the Full Bands designation, indicating sharp, well-defined horizontal lines on the fasces reverse—a key diagnostic feature highly prized by Mercury dime specialists. The crisp striking and excellent eye appeal are immediately apparent, with lustrous surfaces that showcase the quality of this Denver Mint production. Graded MS-68 by NGC (Certificate #2084883010), this dime stands in the upper echelon of the date, combining superior technical quality with the desirable Full Bands characteristic. The 1947 is a readily available date in the Mercury dime series, yet finding examples in this condition with Full Bands designation remains notably challenging. The bright, original surfaces and strong luster demonstrate the care with which this piece has been preserved. This lot represents an excellent opportunity for Mercury dime collectors seeking a high-grade representative of the late-date series, particularly those focused on acquiring Full Bands examples. The combination of grade, designation, and eye appeal makes this a worthy addition to any advanced collection.
