The 1945 Mercury Head Dime is a very common coin with one exception -- if it has Full Bands. Thousands of 1945 Dimes have been certified in Mint State (almost 7,000 at PCGS alone), but barely over a hundred show full Bands. For collectors looking for fully struck Dimes, the 1945 Dime with Full Bands is the ultimate condition-rarity.
The mercury dime is one of the most beautiful coins ever to be produced by the US Mint, and to get one in this pristine, certified condition for less than $30 is a must-buy, especially when one considers that an ounce of silver was once selling for $50. This is also an important historical item, a remnant of our victory in World War II.

The title of "BU UNC" misleads as these Dimes were not Sharp! Not even Bright Brilliant Uncirculated. It is often difficult to observe the true quality of coins unless there are close up pictures. With only two pictures, one of the obverse (front) and one of the reverse (back) it is not easy to determine the detailed condition of the many (15) coins. As a nice possible uncirculated set would have been a correct description for this set.
