Heritage description:
<< <i>1945 10C MS67 Full Bands NGC. The 1945 Philadelphia-issue dime, with a mintage exceeding 159 million pieces, is common in all Mint State grades short of fully struck. This issue is the rarest coin in the Mercury dime series with full bands, and striking quality in general leaves much to be desired (David Lange, 2005). This Superb Gem offering is a refreshing exception to the above generalization. An exacting strike results not only full delineation to the bands but to the other design elements as well. Powerful luster exudes from silver-gray surfaces imbued with hints of yellow-gold and violet and both sides reveal impeccable preservation. Census: 1 in 67 Full Bands, 0 finer (6/09). (#5057) >>
My added comment: This was slabbed by NGC in 1996-1997 and has not been touched since. I purchased it in 1997 from Jay Parrino, the Mint. The luster is the most awesome I have ever seen on a 1945-P dime yet it is NOT a dipped coin. I have seen this coin back in 1970 and again in 1973 and could not afford it then. Now that I have had it for over 12 years, I have had my fun with this lovely coin which I bought for my daughter's College but resisted selling it as she completed her College but now that she wants to go to Law school, well you can just imagine what the law schools now charge for their tuition!!
