1925-D Dime MS Values
Details
The 1925-D Mercury dime is a common Denver-mint issue in the lower circulated grades but becomes much more difficult in grades of XF to AU or better. In uncirculated grades, 1925-D Mercury dimes are tough with those in the Gem levels – especially MS66 and above – very scarce. Many of the surviving uncirculated specimens are quite well struck, and this lends to a small but significant number of Full Bands examples.
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.
