This 1926 Philadelphia issue is very common in all circulated grades and even into the lower uncirculated grades. Like so many pre-1934 Mercury dimes, this piece is tough above MS65, but as this issue was well struck, there is a fairly robust supply of Full Bands specimens.

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.
