1921 Mercury Dime VF-35 PCGS
The 10 Cents denomination of 1921 holds a special place in the story of United States coinage. Struck in 0.900 fine silver with a metal content of 0.0723 troy ounces, this piece is a survivor from a remarkably low mintage of just 1,230,000. This specific specimen has been certified in Very Fine 35 (VF-35) condition, preserving the details of a classic American design. On the obverse, the coin features a youthful depiction of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap. This distinctive headgear often led the public to mistake the figure for the Roman god Mercury, giving the series its popular nickname. The reverse features a fasces, a bundle of rods bound around an ax, closely intertwined with an olive branch. This combination of elements symbolizes both strength and peace. The Latin motto meaning 'out of many, one' is also integrated into the reverse design.
