Found this 1943D Mercury Dime along with a 1918 Wheat at one of my pounded sites in Maryland. The dime seems to be very good with bands visible. Any thoughts from coin people would be appreciated.

Nice FIND !!!
 

Your coin has what’s called split bands. You can see the fine lines in the bands. Those fine lines are among the first to wear away. They made 72 million in Denver that year so they’re pretty common. WW2 saw huge quantities of silver coins being made.
