1926-D Dime MS FB Values
Details
The 1926-D Mercury dime is common in circulated grades and available in decent supplies among the lower uncirculated grades. Many were very well struck, lending to a relatively large supply of Full Bands specimens -- the vast majority of which are found in grades under MS65. In the Gem grades, the 1926-D Mercury dime becomes very scarce and is rare above MS66.
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.
