1916-D Mercury Dime Good-4 PCGS
The 1916 Denver Mint dime stands as one of the most famous issues in the entire history of United States coinage. Strikingly beautiful and remarkably scarce, this coin represents the inaugural year of the Mercury Dime series. With a total production of just 264,000 pieces, this specific issue has captivated the imagination of numismatists for generations due to its extreme scarcity. On the obverse, Adolph Weinman's design presents a youthful depiction of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, a symbol intended to represent freedom of thought. The reverse of the coin displays a fasces, a bundle of rods bound around an ax, closely intertwined with an olive branch. This powerful juxtaposition of symbols was chosen to convey both the strength of the nation and its deep desire for peace.
