What MS65 Full Bands Means
The Full Bands designation is the most sought-after qualifier in Mercury Dime collecting. It signifies that the horizontal bands on the fasces — the central design element of the reverse — are fully struck and completely separated, a hallmark of superior die quality and striking pressure. At MS65, the coin also boasts exceptional luster, sharp detail throughout, and only the most minimal contact marks under magnification.
Many 1943-D dimes were weakly struck due to wartime production demands, making a Full Bands example all the more remarkable and desirable.
A Wartime Classic
Designed by Adolph Weinman and first struck in 1916, the Mercury Dime — officially the Winged Liberty Head Dime — is widely regarded as one of the most beautiful coins in American numismatic history. The obverse features Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, while the reverse displays a fasces bound with an olive branch, representing strength and peace.
Owning a 1943-D in MS65FB connects you to the height of American wartime resolve, preserved in brilliant, uncirculated condition within its PCGS holder.
Each coin ships in its original PCGS certified slab, ensuring long-term protection of grade and authenticity.
