This Philly-mint issue is common in circulated grades and is readily available in uncirculated grades through MS66. Full Bands specimens are rather plentiful at least through MS65, thanks to the majority of these coins being well struck. However, all examples of the 1929 Mercury dime are tough in MS67 or higher grades.

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.
