NGC MS-66 US 10 Cent Mercury Dime Silver Coin - Random Year
The Mercury Dime, officially named the "Winged Liberty Head Dime," embodies the artistic spirit of the early 20th century.
The US Mint crafted Mercury Dimes from 1916 to 1945 to meet internal demand as the US official 10-cent coin. They were made of 90% silver and imprinted with Adolph A. Weinman’s depiction of Lady Liberty, resembling the Roman God Mercury. Hence the moniker.
