The 1918-S Mercury dime is extraordinarily rare with the Full Bands designation, and perhaps but a few hundred survivors are known. The vast majority of those grade somewhere between MS60FB and MS65FB. Pieces grading MS66FB or higher are exceptionally rare, with one MS67FB specimen hammering for $144,000 at a 2019 Heritage Auctions event.
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.
