Introduction of Coins
The Denver Mint more than doubled its output of dimes in 1941 from the previous year, and this issue is common in all grades through MS 67 FB. The percentage of those having Full Bands is higher than for P- and S-Mint dimes of this year, and that pattern remained typical through the end of the series. 1941-D dimes are rich in both doubled-die and repunched mintmark varieties. Most are barely discernible, but the better ones are quite prominent and very popular with collectors.Read More
