Description

1930 Mercury Dime, Full Bands, NGC MS-67. This exceptional 1930 Mercury dime represents a significant find for the serious collector of early twentieth-century American coinage. The coin exhibits the coveted Full Bands designation, indicating sharp, well-defined horizontal lines on the reverse fasces—a key diagnostic feature that elevates this piece considerably above examples lacking this attribute. Graded NGC MS-67, this specimen displays lustrous surfaces with minimal contact marks befitting the grade. The obverse presents Liberty's profile with crisp definition, while the reverse showcases the characteristic Mercury design with impressive eye appeal. The Full Bands designation confirms the strike quality necessary for this premium classification, making this a desirable example for type collectors and Mercury dime specialists alike. The 1930 date represents a transitional year in Mercury dime production, with relatively modest mintages compared to some earlier dates in the series. An MS-67 FB example of this vintage remains a respectable find in the current market, particularly for collectors seeking high-grade representatives of the early 1930s coinage period.
