The 1916-S Mercury dime is common in circulated grades and scarce in Mint State, though not prohibitively so -- a decent number of 1916-S Mercury dimes are available in uncirculated grades. Gems are available in small but significant supplies, with many of those examples exhibiting Full Bands details, overall great strike, and brilliant 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.
