The 1939-D Mercury dime is a quite common in circulated grades and is plentiful in uncirculated condition, with vast quantities known even with Full Bands details through MS67. There are dozens known in MS68 and several grading reaching the seemingly esoteric MS69, assuring plenty of high-end pieces for those who seek them and are willing to pay decent premiums for the top-notch examples.
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.
