First struck in 1916, the Mercury Dime replaced the Barber Dime once that series reached its mandated 25-year production limit. While often called the Mercury Dime, its official title is the Winged Liberty Head Dime. The design was created by Adolph A. Weinman, who was chosen through a national competition to refresh US coinage designs. This 1939-S Mercury Dime has blast-white surfaces with a bright, frosted luster. Right now, the 1939-S Mercury Dime is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1939-S Mercury Dime is a Mint State 66 specimen with the specialized FB designation. FB stands for Full Bands and references the central horizontal bands on the reverse design of the fasces. These bands must be strongly struck with fully separated bands that have no breaks or abrasions. The coin has a crisp overall strike with smooth fields and sharply defined design elements.
The 1939-S Mercury Dime from San Francisco had a mintage of 10,540,000 coins, produced on the eve of World War II as international tensions escalated. These dimes circulated widely during the war years when precious metals were carefully conserved for the war effort. While common in lower grades, high-quality examples with original luster and sharp striking details, particularly full split bands, are more difficult to locate and command strong premiums.
The obverse of the 1939-S Mercury Dime presents Liberty in a youthful profile facing left, wearing a winged Phrygian cap that represents freedom of thought. Weinman’s design is known for its balanced composition and subtle detail, including Liberty’s flowing hair and the finely detailed wings of the cap. “LIBERTY” appears along the rim, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” positioned near the neck and the date shown below.
The reverse of the 1939-S Mercury Dime features a Roman fasces, symbolizing unity and strength through cooperation among the states. An olive branch drapes across the fasces, representing peace alongside strength. Surrounding inscriptions include “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME,” reinforcing the coin’s symbolic message during the wartime years.
