1944-D/D Repunched Mintmark Dime MS FS-501 Values
Details
The 1944-D Mercury dime is a highly common coin in all grades through MS67 in Full Bands, with many dozens of examples grading even higher. Registry set collectors should have little trouble finding a suitable example, though specialists who want a top piece should expect to pay substantial premiums.
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.
