The 1939 proof Mercury dime offers the numismatic world several thousand survivors, ensuring there is ample supply for many Mercury dime enthusiasts who have the money to buy one. In PR68 and higher, the 1939 proof Mercury dime is extremely scarce, with a tiny number of higher-grading examples. A few dozen cameo examples are known, and these trade for substantial 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.
