1934-D/D Repunched Mintmark 10 Cents MS FB FS-501
Details
With the United States Mint again pumping out silver coinage following a prolonged hiatus starting as early as 1929 for some denominations, Mercury dimes were once again rolling off the Denver Mint's presses for the first time since 1931. The vast majority of 1934-D Mercury dimes are well struck, and thus many pieces exist with Full Bands details.
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.
