The 1942-S Mercury dime is an extremely common coin in all grades and is quite plentiful even in Gem Uncirculated levels. A large number of uncirculated survivors exhibit strong strikes and, thus, are readily available with Full Bands details up through MS67. In higher grades these pieces become scarcer but can be had for a price.
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.
