Exceptional Strike Quality - A True 1981-P Condition Rarity
Up for sale is a stunning 1981-P Roosevelt Dime in Brilliant Uncirculated condition. While 1981 is a common year, finding a specimen from the Philadelphia mint with this level of detail is a genuine challenge for any Roosevelt collector.
Why this coin stands out:
The Strike: Extremely sharp for the era. Most 1981 dimes have \"mushy\" details due to overused dies. This coin shows crisp hair lines on Roosevelt and defined oak leaves.
Full Bands (FB/FT): The horizontal bands on the torch show 100% clear, distinct separation. Please see the magnified photos—this is a prime candidate for a professional \"Full Bands\" designation.
Surface Quality: Lustrous, reflective fields with no major distracting marks. It has a \"fresh from the mint\" look that is rarely seen on these early clads.
Mint: Philadelphia (P)
Condition: Raw / Ungraded BU (Brilliant Uncirculated)
This coin is perfect for a high-end album or as a submission candidate for PCGS/NGC grading.
