1945 was the last year of the Mercury dime series and is notable not just for that fact but also because that was the year that a fairly popular mintmark variety was created in the 1945-S micro-S dime. Though not a rarity, the 1945-S micro-S dime is a curiosity for series enthusiasts and adds a little extra challenge for coin collectors who want a little variety – no pun intended – in their Mercury dime collections. The micro-S mintmark is a variation of the regular “S” mintmark and is fairly well represented in terms of number, as it remains relatively common today. However, no exact mintage or population figures can be ascertained for the 1945-S Micro-S variety.
