Ballyhoo Pillar of the Community United States 1613 Posts	Posted 11/02/2018 9:36 pm Could not agree more with T-Bop. The lack of obverse hair detail, the lower horizontal band smooth, the olive branch blending into the fasces on the reverse. A low AU. And that would be generous at best. PCGS missed on that grade. A counterfeit slab? ANA member - PAN Member - BCCS Member There are no problems only solutions - the late, great John Lennon Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 11/05/2018 07:46 am Quote: Fully struck 1945 dimes are rare and FB examples reach into 5 figures for gems. Not really true. I've already purchased one for as low as $12. Another one for a little over $200. They are not as rare as people say they are. True according to statistics only about 2% of all 1945 Mercury dimes had FSB's. But that is 2% of almost 160,000,000 so there are lots of them out there and in high grades too. Since this is not a highly publicized fact, even many dealers at coin shows do not know that those types of Mercury dimes may be expensive. Some time ago I printed out a story about this and gave copies to some dealers I know at coin shows and they all were fascinated by this fact. They are just not as rare as people think.
