Adolph A. Weinman designed the Mercury Dime which was minted from 1916 to 1945. Mercury Dimes were struck in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco.
1916-D and the 1942/1 overdates are the most famous as well as the rarest and most expensive Mercury Dimes. But there still plenty of dates from this popular early series that can still be purchased in high grade for a very modest sum.
CAC. Rich satiny luster with a champagne iridescence. The strike is very sharp including the horizontal bands which are very nearly full. A lovely example of this rare date with minimal marks and strong eye appeal!
CAC. Sharply struck with clean surfaces and rich satiny white luster that blends with light gold shading and peripheral touches of olive-gold. There is doubling on the 4 and the digit 1 is seen under the 2. This is an outstanding example for the grade!
