1940-P Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) Dime – Certified AU58 Full Bands (FB)
This 1940-P Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) Silver Dime, was professionally graded and encapsulated by PCGS as AU58 with the Full Bands (FB) designation. Early-date Mercury dime in high-end About Uncirculated condition, featuring strong remaining mint luster and sharp strike detail.
The obverse shows bold definition in Liberty’s hair and winged cap, with only the faintest high-point friction consistent with an AU58 grade. Fields are clean for the assigned grade, and the coin retains attractive original silver appearance in hand.
The reverse is especially premium for the issue, with a crisp fasces and branches and fully separated band detail. The FB designation confirms the horizontal bands across the fasces are fully split and uninterrupted, a tougher strike attribute on Mercury dimes and a key driver of collector demand.
