1923-S Mercury Dime Good/VG
The 1923 Mercury Dime, struck at the San Francisco Mint, represents a classic era of American silver coinage. Composed of 90 percent silver with a precious metal content of 0.0715 troy ounces, this ten-cent piece carries the storied designs of Adolph Weinman. Despite showing signs of wear along its rim, the coin retains the unmistakable character of its era, marking its journey through decades of circulation. On the obverse, the design features a youthful personification of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, a symbol intended to represent freedom of thought. The legend "IN GOD WE TRUST" is inscribed alongside the 1923 date. The reverse displays a fasces paired with an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace, surrounded by the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "ONE DIME", and the motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM".
