Lot includes (50) unsearched circulated Mercury Silver Dimes.

These Mercury dimes are pulled from unsearched bags of circulated Mercury Dimes and put immediately into storage tubes. They are not gone through for dates, mint marks or any other reason.

Dates and mintmarks will be a random selection of fifty Mercury Dimes minted by the United States government from 1945 or earlier. All coins will have visible dates and be in average circulated condition.

The Mercury dime is a ten-cent coin struck by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. Designed by Adolph Weinman and also referred to as the Winged Liberty Head dime, it gained its common name as the obverse depiction of a young Liberty, identifiable by her winged Phrygian cap, was confused with the Roman god Mercury. Weinman is believed to have used Elsie Stevens, the wife of lawyer and poet Wallace Stevens, as a model. The coin's reverse depicts a fasces, symbolizing unity and strength, and an olive branch, signifying peace.
