      Entry Details

      PCGS Number: 5023
      Coin Date: 1940
      Denomination (Short): 10c
      Denomination (Long): Ten cents
      Desg: MS
      Mint Mark: P
      Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper
      Mintage: 65,350,000
      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Winged liberty head (Mercury) dime
      Coinage Years: 1916-1945
      Mint Location: Philadelphia
      Diameter: 17.9
      Fineness: 0.9
      Weight (Grams): 2.5
      Designer: Adolph A. Weinman
      Edge: Reeded
      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.
      General Notes: Philly-minted 1940 Mercury dimes are extraordinarily common in all grades through the Gem Mint State levels and, for the most part, pose little challenge to enthusiasts through MS67, both Full Bands and non-FB. Top-notch examples do become scarcer, but even in MS68FB this piece has several dozen known survivors, so picking a quality coin should be little problem for those who are willing to pay a small but worthwhile premium.
