Denver delivered 19,171,000 Mercury dimes in 1920, continuing the strong postwar production that characterized the early years of the design. The 1920-D is common in circulated grades. Mint State examples are available with moderate effort, though gem coins with Full Bands require more searching than the Philadelphia equivalent. Strike quality is typical for Denver production of the era: solid on most examples, with occasional weakness at the center of the reverse where the horizontal bands cross the fasces.
