The 1936-S dime is an extremely common coin in all grades through MS67. Many were struck with excellent details, lending to a relatively high number of Full Bands survivors even in the Gem grades. As with many other Mercury dimes struck in the mid 1930s, collectors have plenty of opportunities to be choosy, selecting a top-grade example with outstanding strike, color, and luster.
Obverse Description
Winged Liberty, or Mercury (the Roman god of commerce), is depicted facing left with LIBERTY spelled around the periphery. IN GOD WE TRUST appears left of the neck and the date is positioned just below the bust around 5 o'clock. The designer's initials "AW" appear to the right of the neck.
Reverse Description
A large torch is centered vertically adorned with an axe head and olive branches. UNITED STATES OF AMERICAN * ONE DIME * is spelled out around the periphery. Mint mark, if any, appears near the bottom rim left of the torch.
