1945-S Mercury Dime - NGC MS65 CAC Gold

The 1945-S Mercury Dime marks the final year of this beloved U.S. series, closing out an era of American artistry and history. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Mercury Dime features the iconic Winged Liberty portrait — a timeless symbol of freedom and strength. This stunning example has been graded MS65 by NGC and proudly bears the rare CAC Gold sticker, signifying extraordinary eye appeal and premium quality even for its grade.

Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this coin comes from a mintage of 41,920,000, but only a small fraction have survived in such pristine condition. With an NGC population of just 2,267, and an estimated CAC Gold population of 5 or fewer, this piece is an elite survivor — one of the finest Mercury Dimes of its kind. Its sharp details, brilliant luster, and clean surfaces make it a showpiece for any advanced U.S. coin collection.

Every element of this Mercury Dime reflects the craftsmanship of America’s golden age of coinage. The wings on Liberty’s cap, representing freedom of thought, and the fasces with an olive branch on the reverse, symbolizing unity and peace, create a timeless blend of beauty and meaning. Collectors of classic silver coinage will instantly recognize this as a top-tier specimen worthy of investment and admiration.

Certified by both NGC and CAC, this 1945-S Mercury Dime is more than a collectible — it’s a historic masterpiece that embodies rarity, design, and preservation excellence.
