Although extremely historic and a favorite among collectors, he Mercury dime gave the US Mint difficulties from 1916-1945, then the Roosevelt dime was selected as the new dime. In its run as the US dime, the complexity in its design caused several die errors, causing the Mint to become fed up with its production. The obverse contains a Winged-Liberty, but is often mistaken for the Greek god, Mercury. Uniquely designed by German-American sculptor, Adolph Weinman, Weinman aspired to portray a younger Lady Liberty with a winged Phrygian cap. The Silver Mercury Dime XF-AU bag consists of 100 dimes, making the bag contain a face value of $10. The dimes included in this bag will contain common dates, all in extra fine to almost uncirculated condition. If you are looking for a specific date, you can check out our Mercury dimes section, that is sold separately and at a higher rate.
