      Denomination (Short): 10c
      Denomination (Long): 10 Cents
      Desg: MS
      Mint Mark: S
      Composition: 90% silver; 10% copper

      Strike Type: Business
      Coinage Type: Winged liberty head (Mercury) dime
      Coinage Years: 1916-1945
      Mint Location: San Francisco
      Diameter: 17.9
      Fineness: 0.9
      Weight (Grams): 2.5
      Weight (Ounces): 0.07234
      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: The 1938-S Mercury dime is a common coin by all accounts, with plentiful specimens in all circulated grades and thousands of uncirculated Full Bands specimens. This piece is readily available through MS66 and much scarcer in higher grades through MS68. The 1938-S Mercury dime set an incredible price record for this series when a rainbow-mottled example graded PCGS/CAC MS68 took a whopping $364,250 in June 2019.
