The 1919-S Mercury dime is extremely rare with Full Bands details, with fewer than 200 known across all Mint State grades. All but a tiny few survive in grades lower than MS66, a grade point in which a PCGS-certified specimen took a whopping $103,500 in a 2006 Bowers & Merena sale.
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.
