As the year 1945 marked the end of the Mercury series, the 1945-S was thus the last San Francisco issue for this type, too. The 1945-S Mercury dime is a common coin though not unremarkable, as this last-year S-mint issue saw two types of S mintmarks, including examples sporting a normal S mintmark and a scarcer variety with a much smaller S mintmark. 1945-S dimes with the normal S mintmark and Full Bands details is widely available through MS66 and becomes scarce in the grade of MS67 and higher.
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.
