The 1942 Mercury Dime (#5035) is a common-date issue best known for a fascinating and highly valuable overdate variety. For the 1942, the Philadelphia Mint produced 205,410,000 coins for circulation—a record-breaking output at the time for a single year. While Philadelphia would later surpass this figure in 1944 and 1946, these numbers pale in comparison to modern production; today, the Philadelphia and Denver Mints each produce roughly 200 million clad dimes every month.
As a type coin, the 1942 Mercury Dime is readily available in both circulated and Mint State (MS) grades, including examples with and without Full Bands (FB). While common circulated examples generally trade at a small premium over the silver spot price, raw coins in About Uncirculated (AU) to Choice Brilliant Uncirculatied (BU) condition often command premiums of two to three times the metal value.
The most frequent grades assigned by PCGS fall between MS64 to MS66. However, the 1942 Mercury Dime becomes conditionally scarce at the MS67 and higher, where premiums rise significantly.
