1945 Philadelphia MERCURY DIME Mint State 65 NGC Brown Label

The 1945-P Silver Mercury Dime graded MS65 by NGC with a Brown Label is a notable coin for collectors due to its high grade and classic design. The obverse features a portrait of Liberty wearing a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought. The design, created by Adolph A. Weinman, is often referred to as the "Mercury" Dime due to its resemblance to the Roman god Mercury. The obverse includes the inscriptions "LIBERTY" around the top edge, "IN GOD WE TRUST" to the left of Liberty’s neck, and the date "1945" at the bottom.
