It is a woman on the front, and not so much a torch (although I can see where it looks like one). You can see on left side, towards the top, a small ax head, indicating that it is not a torch. The bush in the back is also distinct. The value fluctuates, especially if you are looking for melt value or value to a coin collector. To calculate melt value, take the current price of silver per troy ounce and multiply it by.0723. The value if you were to sell it to a can be from about $1 to $60 if it is in perfect uncirculated condition. If it has an S (San Francisco mint) or D (Denver mint) it is worth slightly more than one from Philadelphia.

How much is your 1940 dime worth with agod on the front and a torch on the back?

You are describing the "mercury dime". The portrait is actually Miss Liberty, but the liberty cap she's wearing makes her look like the god Mercury, hence the coin's nickname. They aren't rare at all, in circulated condition. It's probably only worth about a dollar. If it's uncirculated still no more than $10 or so. All dimes before 1965 are worth about a dollar right now for the silver content.
