1924-D Dime MS Values
Details
This Denver-mint issue is common in circulated grades and scarce in uncirculated grades, particularly in the Gem range. However, many are well struck and exhibit excellent color and overall eye appeal. Full Bands examples are common enough that they can be found on the market with reasonable frequency and had for a price.
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.
