1945 Mercury Dime AU50

Struck in 90% silver at the Philadelphia Mint, the 1945 Mercury dime is highly prized by collectors as the last year of issue for this beautiful series. Featuring one of America`s best-loved coinage designs, the 1945 final issue is also a treasured remembrance of the great Allied victory in World War II. Germany surrendered unconditionally on May 7, 1944, and four months later on September 2, General MacArthur accepted Japan`s unconditional surrender aboard the battleship U.S.S. Missouri.
