1941-S Mercury Dime BU
The 1941 silver ten-cent piece stands as a classic example of American coinage from the mid twentieth century. Minted in San Francisco, this specimen is preserved in Brilliant Uncirculated condition, allowing observers to appreciate the original luster and sharp details of its engraving just as it looked when it left the mint. Composed of 90 percent silver, the coin contains 0.0715 troy ounces of precious metal. The obverse features a youthful depiction of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, a design element that led to the popular nickname of the series. Accompanying this portrait are the inscriptions "IN GOD WE TRUST" and the date "1941". On the reverse, the central design showcases a fasces alongside an olive branch, symbolizing strength and peace. The reverse is also inscribed with "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA", "E PLURIBUS UNUM", and the denomination "ONE DIME", with the "S" mint mark indicating its origin at the San Francisco facility.
