About 1942/1 Mercury Dimes Full Bands
While the 1942/1 Mercury dime is relatively common in circulated grades and somewhat scarce with ordinary strike details in Mint State grades, this becomes an extremely rare variety with Full Bands details. Fewer than 100 Full Bands examples are thought to exist across all Mint State grades, and only two or three dozen are known in grades of MS65 or better. In 2010, one collector paid $63,250 for the opportunity to own one graded MS66FB by PCGS.

About CDN Prices
All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
