The 1919 Mercury dime is a relatively common coin in circulated grades but quite scarce in uncirculated condition, with perhaps only a few hundred survivors across the entire Mint State spectrum. Uncirculated pieces are generally well struck and exhibit decent color and overall good eye appeal. Many uncirculated specimens exhibit Full Bands details.
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.
