Like most other early S-mint Mercury dimes, the 1920-S is generally common in the lower circulated grades, more difficult in XF or better, and scarce in uncirculated grades. There are relatively few pieces in Gem. As high-end 1920-S dimes do present collectors such challenges, when examples do hit the market they often command strong 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.
