1937 Mercury Dime Good/VF
The 1937 ten-cent piece, commonly known as the Mercury Dime, is a striking example of United States coinage from the mid-century era. Struck in Philadelphia from 90 percent silver, this coin carries a precious metal content of 0.0715 troy ounces. While the rim of the coin may show signs of wear depending on its survival through circulation, the artistry of the design remains highly distinct. On the obverse side, the coin displays a youthful depiction of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap. This central figure is accompanied by the legible inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date "1937". The reverse side of the coin features a fasces paired with an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. The reverse also bears the inscriptions "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "ONE DIME". This classic coin was designed by Adolph Weinman. Its enduring imagery and silver composition make it a fascinating piece of American numismatic history to study and appreciate.
