Due to the Mint Act of 1792, the US coins must include an emblem of liberty. The coin's designer, Adolph Weinman, originally wanted to portray a younger Lady Liberty with a winged Phrygian cap. The Mercury dime's actual name is the Winged Liberty but because of her unique appearance, she resembles the Greek God, Mercury. Although this design was creative and beautiful, it took many tries, in order to produce a die and strike that worked in the minting machines. The 90% silver, or also known as junk silver, is popular for its silver content, not for the dates or condition of the actual coins. Although the date is still readable, the condition of the coins is circulated. This bag of silver does not include special or low mintage dates, just common dates of the Mercury dimes. The 90% Silver Mercury Dime bag comes with 100 dimes, equivalent to $10 face value. The Mercury dime is becoming harder to find and so its premium keeps rising. Invest while its at such an achievable price for silver!
