1936 Philadelphia Mint Mercury dimes are extremely common in all circulated grades and even so into the Gem range. Many collectors saved Mercury dimes, as collecting these coins by date and mintmark was becoming more popular with American numismatists. The 1936 Philadelphia Mercury dime was well struck, and many, if not most, uncirculated pieces exhibit Full Bands details.
Obverse Description
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 Description
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.
