1940-P Mercury Dime – PCGS AU58FB (Full Bands)
Offered is a 1940-P Mercury Dime certified AU58FB by PCGS. This is a high-end About Uncirculated example with the desirable Full Bands designation on the reverse.
The coin shows noticeable but moderate high-point friction consistent with About Uncirculated wear, most evident on Liberty’s cheek/jawline and hair/wing details. Despite the circulation wear, the coin retains strong overall detail and a clean, original appearance with no major distracting marks.
On the reverse, the fasces is well defined and the central bands are clearly separated, earning the FB designation. Luster is present but subdued, with remaining brightness in the fields and around devices.
A popular 90% silver issue for Mercury dime collectors, this piece offers an appealing combination of PCGS AU58 quality and Full Bands strike detail.
