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.

General Notes: The 1942-D Mercury dime is extremely common in all grades, even with Full Bands details, up through MS67. Higher-grading pieces are significantly scarcer and command substantial premiums, which most registry set collectors who are building Mercury dime sets are willing to pay.
