1930-S Mercury dimes are common enough in the circulated grades and common into the uncirculated grades up to MS65. Higher than that, and availability of this piece goes from plentiful to scarce, with regular and Full Bands examples commanding substantial premiums. Buyers generally get their money’s worth for these high-end examples, which normally exhibit great color and nice 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.
