Description
The 1945 Mercury Dime, certified AU55 by ICG, is an attractive high‑grade example from the final year of one of America’s most iconic silver coin series. This piece features strong remaining luster, sharp detail in Liberty’s winged cap, and only light circulation wear—hallmarks of the AU55 grade.
What makes this coin especially unique is its black‑light visibility. Under ultraviolet light, the coin’s surfaces reveal enhanced contrast and subtle fluorescence, creating a dramatic and eye‑catching display. This makes it an ideal choice for collectors who enjoy coins with special presentation qualities or who display their pieces in illuminated cases.
Struck in 90% silver, the 1945 issue marks the end of Adolph A. Weinman’s celebrated Mercury Dime design, a favorite among collectors for its classical artistry and historical significance.
