They're the initials of John Sinnock, who designed the coin.
On Roosevelt dimes minted from 1946 to 1964, the mint mark position is on the back, at the bottom-left of the torch Dimes from 1965 to 1967 do not have mint marks. Starting in 1968 the mint mark position was moved to the front, above the date. Possible letters are: Blank = Philadelphia, 1946-79 P = Philadelphia, 1980-present D = Denver S = San Francisco 1946-55; proof coins only 1968-present
From 1946 to 1964, the mint mark position was at the bottom left of the torch on the back of the coin. No mint mark = Phila. S = San Francisco D = Denver
The overstamp looks like there is a 1 in front of the 2 in "1942" and is quite noticeable.However, there is a variety of the 1942-D Mercury dime that is a 2 over 1 also which is less noticeable, for this the best indicator is to look at the "4" it will have what looks like a second tail under it and the "2" will look to have dot right under the far left base.
No, the JS refers to the designer's initials. Any mintmark on a dime from 1953 will be found on the reverse to the left of the torch.
In 1916 two different dimes, both with the same date were struck. One is a Barber dime and the other is a Mercury dime. A Barber dime has the portrait facing the right, the Mercury dime faces the left. The values between the two are different. Post new question with new information.
The mintmark ( if it has one ) on Roosevelt dimes from 1946 through 1964 is just to the left of the bottom of the torch on the reverse of the coin.
1946, it will be date code (month/year - letters) on the left side of the barrel. You can look this up under the manufactured date on the Remington Society of America site.

It means that if you have a nickel but you need a dime if you look to hard for a dime your spleen will split in half Because of the velocity of your spine as it exits your left nostril Then your left eye will twitch at a uncontrollable speed. Then as your having a physical meltdown you will expirience the sudden urge to have blueberry flavored cotton candy rubbed counter-clockwise on your left shoulder blade. Dont look to hard for a dime
The back of a 1937 dime features an image of an olive branch on the left and a torch on the right, symbolizing peace and liberty, with the word "ONE DIME" in the center.
Olive branch on the left and Oak on the right.
