1931-S Mercury Dime XF
The 1931-S Mercury Dime represents a fascinating moment in United States coinage, combining a high precious metal purity with an iconic artistic design. Struck at the San Francisco Mint, this ten-cent piece is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. Kept in Extra Fine condition, the coin retains much of the crisp detail that made this series a favorite among observers of American currency. On the obverse, the design features a youthful profile of Liberty wearing a traditional Phrygian cap adorned with wings. This striking imagery is accompanied by the legible inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the year of issue, 1931. The reverse side of the coin presents a powerful combination of symbols, displaying a fasces alongside an olive branch. The traditional motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" is also visible, completing a design created by Adolph Weinman that remains celebrated for its elegance and balance.
