1940-D Mercury dimes are quite common in all circulated grades and in Mint State levels through Superb Gem. Even Full Bands specimens are easily attainable through MS67. The base of registry set collectors clusters among the MS67 to MS68 or better pieces, with premiums being paid for examples showing exceptionally nice color or mint luster.
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.
