Despite their common date, the 1944-D dime is worth a little more than a 1940-D. The 1944-D dime has a distinctly repunched second “D” mintmark. Mintage figures include coins minted from 1916 through 1945. A graded 1944-D dime is worth between $2 and $30. However, be careful not to buy a 1944-S unless you can afford the extra $10.

The current-era dime features President Franklin D. Roosevelt on its obverse. On the reverse, you’ll find a stylized image honoring the 1969 Apollo 11 moon mission. The image was based on Michael Collins’ patch. Until Roosevelt’s time, the face of the dime depicted Lady Liberty. Earlier, the face of the coin was a full-length portrait of the Goddess Liberty, draped over a rock.

The Mercury dime was minted from 1916 through 1945. The Mercury dime was replaced by the Roosevelt design as a tribute to the recently departed president. However, the dies were not available until later in 1916, so until those dies were issued, the US mint produced the Barber dime series. A 1943 D dime was also minted without the mint mark. So, it is important to look for the exact coin to see if it is worth more than the 1944 D dime.
