1942 10C MS67+ FB PCGS CAC
Mercury Dime
This 1942 Mercury Dime, certified with a PCGS+ designation for premium quality at the upper end of its assigned grade, is a visually captivating high-end Gem that stands out even among top-tier Full Bands examples. The obverse dazzles with dramatic toning—an iridescent wash of fiery orange-gold, emerald green, deep crimson, and sapphire blue cascading across Liberty’s portrait. These primary hues are accented by arcs of lilac, rose-pink, and turquoise, adding fluidity and vibrancy to the presentation. Satiny mint frost glows beneath the color, with razor-sharp definition in the cap feathers and facial features confirming a textbook Full Bands strike. The reverse offers a cooler tone profile, showcasing soft silver-gold with hints of champagne, olive, and pale peach, all laid atop luminous cartwheel luster. Faint peripheral violet-gray toning and unblemished fields frame the boldly rendered fasces and olive branches. With a PCGS population of just 48 coins at this level and only 25 finer, and a mere three CAC-approved pieces exceeding it, this beautifully toned piece represents an elite acquisition for Mercury dime specialists or Registry Set competitors. This exact example last sold 08/2016 HA for $1,880 and since then the toned market for high grade Mercury Dime has appreciated.
