The 1942-D Mercury dime is extremely common in all grades, even with Full Bands details, up through MS67. Higher-grading pieces are significantly scarcer and command substantial premiums, which most registry set collectors who are building Mercury dime sets are willing to pay.
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.
