The year 1916 marked a landmark moment in American coinage as the United States Mint undertook a broad artistic modernization of several denominations, replacing designs that had grown dated with fresh, classically inspired works from some of the era’s most talented sculptors. The Mercury Dime, formally known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, was among the most celebrated results of this initiative, introduced alongside redesigns of the quarter and half dollar. This Full Bands specimen includes the FB designation and an MS67+ grade from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Right now, the 1916 Mercury Dime is available from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
Each 1916 Mercury Dime available here is a stunning MS67+ designation, with the plus indicating the coin represents the finest quality possible in an MS67 specimen. More importantly, this piece earned a Full Bands (FB) designation. This highlights the horizontal bands around the fasces on the reverse, noting that the bands are fully separated from each other with no weakness or merging.
Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Mercury Dime brought an elegant, neoclassical sensibility to everyday American commerce and is still widely considered one of the most beautiful coins ever produced by the U.S. Mint, admired by artists, historians, and collectors alike.
The obverse of the 1916 Mercury Dime presents a left-facing portrait of Liberty wearing a winged Phrygian cap, with the wings symbolizing freedom of thought. The design is so reminiscent of the Roman god Mercury that the popular nickname adhered permanently, even though the figure is allegorical rather than mythological.
The reverse of the 1916 Mercury Dime Coins features a fasces, the ancient Roman symbol of authority and unity, set against an olive branch that represents peace; the combination was intended to convey the nation’s strength and readiness for defense balanced by its desire for harmony.
