SteveGraves New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 02/24/2025 11:48 pm Hi all, I was going through some of my old coins and this one kind of popped out to me. Looked like a lot of nice detail, much better than the other Mercury dimes I have. What do you guys think, is this considered "full bands" for a Mercury dime? Report this Post to the Staff

Errers and Varietys Bedrock of the Community United States 74357 Posts	Posted 02/25/2025 12:14 am No Full Bands on this one. As for the grade, maybe between Fine to VF. Errers and Varietys. Report this Post to the Staff
SteveGraves New Member United States 29 Posts	Posted 02/25/2025 12:34 am Is Fine to VF even worth having graded with this type of coin? Report this Post to the Staff

adam126402 Pillar of the Community United States 881 Posts	Posted 02/25/2025 01:09 am Welcome. Steve, mintage numbers and rarity are key to value in coin collecting. In this case 62 million 1944-D were minted, hence not at all rare. This coin might be in the VF range, so 20-35 on the grading scale but the surfaces look pitted to me, which would lead to a "details" grade. IMO, this dime is worth about $2.50. Definitely not worth grading. Report this Post to the Staff

It's only worth like a few dollars at most. Quote: Plus I thought the full bands designation was only given to MS examples. That's what I thought as well. Errers and Varietys.
