Historical Significance — Why Collect
The 1945-S Micro S is a popular final-year variety created when a smaller-than-normal mintmark punch was used at San Francisco. Collectors prize it for its distinct appearance and as a capstone to wartime Mercury Dime runs. Gem examples certified MS65 are scarce and highly sought after for variety, date, or type sets.
