The US Mint began issuing the Mercury Dime in 1916, replacing the Barber Dime after that design fulfilled its required 25-year term. Officially titled the Winged Liberty Head Dime, the coin was designed by Adolph A. Weinman, who earned the opportunity by winning a competition for new coin designs. This 1937-D Mercury Dime is a highly graded MS67 specimen with the FB designation that collectors desire. Now, the 1937-D Mercury Dime is available online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1937-D Mercury Dime is in Mint State 67 condition with an FB designation. FB stands for Full Bands and refers to the sharp, strong strike on the central horizontal bands on the fasces on the reverse. The bands must be fully separated with no breaks or abrasions. The coins in this listing showfrosted luster, largely untoned surfaces, and blast white detail on certain designs.
The obverse of the 1937-D Mercury Dime features Liberty in a youthful left-facing profile, wearing a winged Phrygian cap that represents freedom of thought. Weinman’s artistic style is evident in the delicate details, including the flowing strands of Liberty’s hair and the finely sculpted wings of the cap. “LIBERTY” appears along the rim, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” placed near the neck and the date below.
The reverse design of the 1937-D Mercury Dime shows a Roman fasces, symbolizing unity and strength through cooperation among the states. An olive branch draped across the fasces represents peace balanced with strength. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME” surround the design, emphasizing its symbolic meaning during the World War I period.
The 1937-D Mercury Dime from Denver had a mintage of 14,146,000 coins, considerably lower than the Philadelphia production but still substantial by historical standards. These Denver-minted dimes are readily available to collectors in most grades, though examples with fully split bands remain somewhat scarcer. The coin represents the late Depression era, when minting operations had normalized across all three active facilities.
