1921-D Mercury Dime XF-40 PCGS
Struck in 90% silver, this 1921-D Mercury Dime represents a fascinating moment in United States coinage. Minted in Denver, this ten-cent piece comes from a remarkably low mintage of just 1,080,000 coins, making it a notable rarity within the popular Mercury Dime series. This specific coin has been graded in Extra Fine 40 (XF-40) condition, indicating it circulated briefly while retaining excellent detail in its design elements. The obverse features the iconic winged Liberty head, accompanied by the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date "1921". The reverse displays a fasces wrapped in an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace, surrounded by the legends "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "ONE DIME". The "D" mint mark is clearly visible, identifying its origin from the Denver Mint. Containing approximately 0.0715 troy ounces of pure silver, this pre-1933 classic offers a tangible connection to early twentieth-century American currency.
