Following a brief hiatus in 1922 due to a mild recession, production of the Mercury dime resumed in 1923. San Francisco-mint specimens are common in circulated condition and more difficult to obtain in the uncirculated grades, particularly in the Gem Mint State levels.
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.
