1939-D Mercury Dime XF
This ten-cent piece from 1939 represents a classic era of United States coinage. Struck at the Denver Mint, the silver dime is composed of 90 percent silver, containing 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal. It is preserved in Extra Fine condition, displaying the crisp details of its iconic artwork with only light wear from its brief time in circulation. The obverse of the coin features a youthful depiction of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, a design element that led the public to mistake her for the Roman messenger god Mercury. Alongside her portrait, the inscription "IN GOD WE TRUST" is paired with the 1939 date. On the reverse, the coin displays a fasces wrapped in an olive branch, symbolizing both strength and peace. The legends "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" and "ONE DIME" frame the central design, accompanied by the Latin motto "E PLURIBUS UNUM" and the small "D" mint mark indicating its Denver origin.
