CVC & Collectibles presents this 1945 10C Mercury Dime, certified by ANACS as MS 64, is a shining example of American coinage from the mid-20th century.
On the obverse of this dime, you’ll find a striking image of Lady Liberty, often mistakenly referred to as the Roman god Mercury due to her resemblance to him. She is adorned with a winged Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, and her hair is adorned with small, intricate details. The coin’s date “1945” is placed just below.
Flipping the coin reveals a Roman fasces, an ancient symbol of power and authority, along with an olive branch, which signifies peace. The denomination “ONE DIME” is also present.
Graded as MS 64, this Mercury Dime falls into the “Mint State” category, indicating that it is in near-mint condition. It boasts full, original mint luster and only minor imperfections that are visible under close inspection.
The 1945 Mercury Dime serves as a reminder of a pivotal period in history, as it was minted during the final year of World War II. Owning this coin allows you to hold a tangible piece of the past, representing the resilience and unity of the American people during a challenging time.
