1939-D Mercury Dime Good/VF
Struck in 1939 at the Denver Mint, this ten-cent silver piece represents a classic era of American coinage. The coin is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of the precious metal. It circulates today as a tangible survivor from the late 1930s, carrying a grade of Fine to Very Fine. The obverse displays a youthful depiction of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, a design element that historically led to the popular, though technically inaccurate, nickname of the Mercury Dime. Accompanying this portrait is the legible inscription of the national motto, "IN GOD WE TRUST," along with the 1939 date. On the reverse, the design features a fasces paired with an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. The inscriptions surrounding this central image include "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "ONE DIME," and the Latin phrase "E PLURIBUS UNUM." The small "D" mint mark is also visible, signifying its origin from the Denver facility.
