      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.

      General Notes: The 1942 Philly Mercury dime is a highly common coin in all circulated grades and is widely available through MS67, even with Full Bands details. Pieces grading higher are much scarcer and pose a little more challenge, particularly to registry set collectors looking for the highest-graded examples they can find.
