Question for Merc heads

Coppernicus

Am I missing something in this auction? Is this guy high?

Linky

Thanks for any input!

Edited: I guess I'm surprised - is the FB that tough in the '45?

It may be a little high but not of the ball park!

Check pop reports on the '45 FB! Not to many out there, but the price may be reasonable in a few years. Retail is around 6-8k depending on which source you use in MS65-FB! Go figure, it's a rare breed like the '53 FBL Franklin!!

Mike,

The 1945 Mercury Dime in true full bands is in fact rare and one of the classics in the set in full bands. Even when designated Full Bands by either PCGS or NGC, most are not fully rounded, but merely split. Finding a 1945 P with truly rounded and fully split bands is a tall order as many that are slabbed as such don't cut the mustard in my humble opinion. I've sold a few truly superb Gem full band 1945 P's, but they are sincerely rare as such.

Hope this helps.

Thanks all - especially FinallyHere! This is just the sort of information I was looking for. I thought there might have been a typo in Trends!
