The 1943-D Mercury dime is a very common coin that is widely available in all grades from Good through MS67, with several dozen specimens known in grades of MS68 and even higher. Full Bands examples are commonplace among the range of uncirculated survivors and should pose little challenge to those who wish to acquire high-end specimens. The very highest-grade pieces cross the block from time to time and command princely premiums.
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.
