1931-S Mercury Dime VF
Struck during a pivotal era in American history, the 1931-S Mercury Dime is a fascinating ten-cent piece minted in San Francisco. This silver coin, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of 90 percent pure silver, is preserved in Very Fine condition, showing the enduring details of its celebrated artistry. The obverse of the coin displays a youthful depiction of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, a design element that historically led to the popular, though incorrect, nickname of the Roman god Mercury. The legend "IN GOD WE TRUST" is visible alongside the 1931 date. On the reverse, the design showcases a fasces bound with an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. The San Francisco mint mark "S" is located on this side, designating its origin from the West Coast facility.
