The nation was still reeling from the economic pathos of the Great Depression, but there were some positive signs that the situation was improving slightly. The United States Mint had also produced very little coinage during the previous few years, and the nation’s supply of new coins needed a boost. All denominations, one-cent through silver dollar, saw production pick back up again in 1934, with Mercury dimes pumping out in large numbers, with nearly 25 million coming from the Philadelphia Mint alone. Most were very well struck and many uncirculated survivors exhibit Full Bands details.
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.
