1923 Mercury Dime 10-pc Roll G–VG

100-Year-Old Mercury Dimes

In 1916, the U.S. Mint introduced what was to become a beloved American coin, the Mercury Dime. Minted from late 1916 to 1945, German-born American sculptor Adolph A. Weinman’s design on this popular coin was said to represent “Freedom of Thought,” a sense of liberty that emboldened us as we fought against the AXIS Powers in World War II. Mercury Dimes were part of President Teddy Roosevelt’s plan to elevate the look of American coinage. They were called Mercury Dimes because the image of Liberty on the obverse resembled Mercury, the Roman god of trade, profit, and commerce.

One Of America’s Most Beloved Coins

In the century since it was first issued, the Mercury Dime has gone on to become one of America’s most beloved coins. In addition to its iconic design of Lady Liberty with a winged Phrygian cap that makes her look like the Roman god Mercury, the coin’s reverse depicts a fasces symbolizing unity and strength, and an olive branch, signifying peace. The image was so popular that when the U.S. Mint struck its first Palladium Eagle coin in 2017 it selected Weinman’s design!
