The US Mint began producing the Mercury Dime in 1916, replacing the Barber Dime once that series met its required 25-year production minimum. Officially titled the Winged Liberty Head Dime, the coin was designed by Adolph A. Weinman after he won a competition for new coinage designs. From the final year of the Mercury Dime Series, this 1945-S specimen has an MS67 certification and specialized FB designation. Right now, the 1945-S Mercury Dime is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1945-S Mercury Dime is in MS67 condition with an FB designation. The FB stands for Full Bands and is unique to Mercury Dimes and Roosevelt Dimes. Full Bands references the horizontal bands on the fasces, with the FB designation indicating the bands are sharply struck with full separation between bands, no abrasions, and no breaks. This piece comes with brilliant, untoned surfaces and a frosted luster that flows evenly across the clean fields of the coin.
The 1945-S Mercury Dime from San Francisco, with a mintage of 41,920,000, was among the final issues of this beloved design before production ceased later that year. Many of these coins entered circulation during the closing months of World War II and the immediate postwar period of celebration and economic transition. The 1945-S marked the end of an era, as the Mercury Dime would soon be replaced by the Roosevelt Dime in 1946.
The obverse of the 1945-S Mercury Dime features a youthful Liberty facing left, wearing a winged Phrygian cap that symbolizes freedom of thought. Weinman’s design is well known for its refined details, including the natural flow of Liberty’s hair and the intricate feathers of the cap. The inscription “LIBERTY” follows the rim, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” located near the neck and the date positioned below.
The reverse design of the 1945-S Mercury Dime displays a Roman fasces, a symbol of strength through unity, with the bound rods representing the states. Draped across the fasces is an olive branch, conveying peace alongside strength. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME” complete the design, reflecting its wartime symbolism.
