Here I have to share with fellow error collectors tonight is a Mercury dime that has a Planchet error with a full band, check out the pictures and especially the last one that have a different reeding comparing to a regular 1925 P dime. I am not sure if different milling were used to create reeded edge of Mercury dimes, at least I didn't notice until it struck me something was different when I look at the edges again.      |

Cool. It seems like some types of Mercury dime errors make them more likely to have full bands. In David Lange's notes about 1945 dimes: Quote:
Ironically, the coins of this date most likely to have split or full bands are error pieces. The unconventional displacement of metal associated with broadstruck, off-centered or struck-through dimes has left many with strong central details, including the center bands! |

I would hope that would be 1945 P dime, it would increase the value by almost 50X.

Heritage has one going off tonight. Just $12,000 to own a 1945 dime in MS65FB. I think I'll stick to my MS67 with a flat strike this time around... |

wow, if I had just seen a picture of the Obverse and no pictures of the Reverse I would have chimed in saying it was PMD but there is no question that would have been wrong with the other pictures provided |

Pre-strike delamination and the reeding is quite interesting but a complete mystery to me  Possibly a collar used for striking foreign coins? |

Bio, I was trying to count, but got loss after counting to 1/3 of the way. I was wondering what method TPG used to determine for what coin was used for during that period? |
