1937-D Mercury Dime Good/VF
In 1937, the Denver Mint struck this ten cent silver coin, which has survived decades of circulation to tell its story. Composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal, the coin is a classic example of twentieth century American coinage. This issue represents a fascinating era of design, carrying distinct imagery on both sides. The front of the coin displays a youthful profile of Liberty wearing a traditional Phrygian cap adorned with wings. This striking visual element is accompanied by the legible inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the 1937 year of issue. The reverse side presents a detailed fasces bound with an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. Surrounding this central design are the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "ONE DIME", and the Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM", alongside the small "D" mark indicating its origin in Denver.
