1941-P Mercury Dime certified AU55FB by PCGS. This coin shows honest, moderate circulation wear consistent with the About Uncirculated grade, while still retaining strong overall detail.
The obverse exhibits visible wear on Liberty’s cheek, jawline, hair, and wing, typical for AU55 examples. Surfaces are original and problem-free, with no major marks or damage that detract from the coin’s appearance. Remaining luster is limited, but the coin maintains a natural, evenly worn look.
On the reverse, the fasces displays clearly separated central bands, earning the Full Bands (FB) designation. This is an uncommon designation on circulated Mercury dimes and adds interest for collectors who focus on strike quality.
Struck in 90% silver at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1941-P Mercury dime is a common-date issue, but AU examples with the FB designation are infrequently encountered.
