1945-P Mercury Dimes, 90% Silver — Half Roll of 25

A half roll of 25 Mercury (Winged Liberty) dimes, all dated 1945, struck at Philadelphia. Solid silver stack — 90% silver, pre-1965 — weighed in at 61.35g on the scale, right where 25 circulated dimes should land. Details: - Series: Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) Dime - Date: 1945 - Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Denomination: One Dime - Quantity: 25 coins (half roll) - Silver content: 90% silver (0.0723 troy oz pure silver per coin) - Weight: 61.35g (verified on scale) Circulated, with moderate wear across the lot — dates and design are readable on all coins, with the typical honest patina of 80-year-old pocket change. A solid silver buy. Fun fact: 1945 was the final year of the Mercury dime series — the design was retired in 1946 when Roosevelt dimes were introduced to honor the recently passed president, making these last-year-of-issue coins.
