The Mercury Dime is a vintage American coin minted from 1916 to 1945. Today, they are seldom seen in circulation but are cherished by coin collectors and enthusiasts of American history alike. You will receive one mint state example certified by either PCGS or NGC guaranteed to match the grade shown. Each coin is sealed in an airtight holder and presented in a plush-lined wood box. The coin is unconditionally guaranteed to be genuine and will match the quality of the one shown.

About the Mercury Dime:

Properly known as the “Winged Liberty” dime in the Mint’s official description, this popular coin designed by Adolph A. Weinman features a stunning example of a youthful Lady Liberty on the obverse wearing a winged Phrygian cap to symbolize freedom of thought. However, this was publicly confused almost immediately after its release in October of 1916 with a likeness of the Roman God Mercury, and thus this coin’s enduring colloquial name was born. Weinman never disclosed the name of the model for the obverse, but it is widely believed to have been Elsie Stevens, the wife of Weinman’s attorney friend, Wallace Stevens. The reverse features the fasces carried by Roman magisterial lictors and symbolizes power and justice, as well as strength in numbers, and is accompanied by an olive branch of peace. The Mercury dime spanned an era that witnessed two World Wars, the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and the entirety of Prohibition. It continues to be one of the most beloved coins in American history, more than 70 years after its last mintage in 1945.
