The 1945-S Micro S is a popular last-year variety for the Mercury dime series, with the S mintmark on these pieces comparatively smaller than those on the regular 1945-S Mercury dimes. Aside from the sizes of the S mintmarks, the Micro S mintmark also has much sharper-edged serifs than the more bulbous serifs as seen on the normal 1945-S mintmark.
The 1945-S Micro S Mercury dime is a common coin in circulated grades and available in significant quantities through MS67. Full Bands specimens are not necessarily rare as a group, though for the 1945-S Micro S they are scarce in grades higher than MS66. Pieces grading higher than MS67FB are extremely rare.
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.
