1919-D Dime MS FB Values
Details
The 1919-D Mercury dime is an extremely scarce coin with Full Bands details and enthusiasts will pay strong premiums to acquire one of the few that does. Only a few hundred survive at all, and the vast majority of these grade lower than MS66. This is evidenced by the six-figure price paid for one of the very tiny handful of MS66s in existence, $156,000 paid in 2019 for one such specimen certified by PCGS and given a top-quality seal of approval from CAC.
Obverse: 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: 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.
