1925-D Mercury Dime Good/VG
The 1925 silver dime struck at the Denver Mint offers a tangible look into early twentieth-century American coinage. This ten-cent piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. As a heavily circulated specimen in Good to Very Good condition, the coin shows the honest wear of its journey through commerce, which may be particularly visible along its outer rims. Created by the sculptor Adolph Weinman, the design presents a distinct artistic vision. The obverse features a youthful depiction of Liberty adorned with a winged Phrygian cap, a symbol intended to represent freedom of thought. On the reverse, the imagery shifts to a fasces, a bundle of rods bound around an ax, positioned alongside an olive branch to balance themes of strength and peace. The Denver origin is marked by the small 'D' mint mark on the reverse.
