1937-D Mercury Dime MS-66 NGC (FB)
In 1937, the Denver Mint produced over fourteen million silver dimes, featuring a design that remains one of the most celebrated in American numismatics. The obverse depicts a youthful personification of Liberty adorned with a winged Phrygian cap. This distinctive headwear often led the public to mistake the figure for the Roman messenger god Mercury, giving the series its popular nickname. Crafted from 90 percent silver with a total precious metal weight of 0.0715 troy ounces, the coin features a reverse design that pairs an olive branch with a fasces, symbolizing both peace and strength. This specific specimen has been certified in Mint State 66 (MS-66) condition, preserving the intricate details of the original artistry.
