The 1941 proof Mercury dimes were made in significantly larger numbers than any previous proof specimens for this series. Still, above a grade of PR67, they’re quite rare and command strong four-figure prices, with the rare example crossing into five-figure territory when surface quality and eye appeal warrant.
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.
