1945 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. During World
<table><tr><td><table><tr><td>1945 10C MS66 Full Bands PCGS. During World War II, the Philadelphia Mint churned out enormous numbers of Mercury Dimes. In 1944 quality began to slip and fully struck coins are much more challenging than in previous years. However, the 1945 Dime is the premier strike rarity in the series; indeed, it is one of the great strike rarities in all of U.S. numismatics. Only 13 other pieces have been so graded by PCGS with three finer (3/04). This exceptional piece has thick mint frost and is untoned throughout. The bands are fully split and there is one tiny milling mark just above the D of DIME on the reverse to serve as a future identifier. A rare opportunity for the specialist. <BR><BR><B>Important notice:</B> Heritage usually auctions material at the rate of 200-250 lots per hour. On some occasions eBay Live bid software or the Internet may not be able to keep up with the pace of the auction. We recommend placing a realistic absentee bid now as insurance to avoid disappointment. Occasionally the auctioneer may eliminate or reject an eBay Live bid, and the auctioneer may also reopen a lot after the close of the eBay live bidding (usually because we missed an audience bid), and may reject your bid even if it shows you as the winning bidder. By bidding via eBay Live, you agree that Heritage may award the lot to another bidder at its sole discretion under the circumstances described above or any other reasonable circumstances. Since eBay bids are not shown to us until we open the lot on the floor, we treat those bids just like floor bids. In most cases the floor responds before the eBay bid is presented to us, due to Internet lag time, so for consistency we have made it a policy that floor bids are always considered first over tie eBay live bids. Also please note that all Heritage lots purchased through eBay Live carry a 20% Buyer's Premium. Please make sure you read the Terms and Conditions before you bid. <BR><BR><B>IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT ABOUT RESERVES:</B> Heritage now divulges all reserves on its web site 7 days before every auction. If you want to know whether the reserve on this lot has been met, and if not, what the reserve amount is, please visit this lot page on the HeritageCoin.com web site, or email: bid@HeritageGalleries.com </span></font></td></tr></table></td></tr></table>
