The Mercury Dime was introduced by the US Mint in 1916, replacing the Barber Dime design that had reached its mandated 25-year minimum. Officially known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, it was designed by Adolph A. Weinman, who won a competition to create new coinage designs. This 1919 Mercury Dime carries a distinctive FB designation, one associated only with Mercury and Roosevelt Dimes, that indicates a coin with Full Bands. Today, the 1919 Mercury Dime is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1919 Mercury Dime was produced at three mints with a combined mintage exceeding 50 million coins, reflecting the post-World War I economic expansion. The Philadelphia issue had a mintage of 35,740,000, while Denver and San Francisco contributed 9,939,000 and 8,850,000, respectively. These coins are generally available to collectors in most grades, though fully struck examples with strong central details on the fasces remain challenging to locate.
This 1919 Mercury Dime is available in Mint State 64 condition. The highlight of this coin is its FB designation, which stands for Full Bands. This premium designation indicates that the reverse design element’s central horizontal bands have a superior, sharp strike with fully separated, distinct bands that show no breaks, bridges, or abrasions. Overall, the coin features blankets of russet and gray-black toning on one side, with the other side boasting largely untoned, bright silver luster.
The obverse design of the 1919 Mercury Dime showcases a youthful Liberty in left-facing profile, wearing a winged Phrygian cap symbolizing freedom of thought. Weinman’s artistic interpretation created one of the most beautiful and recognizable designs in American coinage, with delicate details including Liberty’s flowing hair and the intricate feathers of the cap. The word “LIBERTY” appears along the edge, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” positioned to the left of the neck, and the date below.
The reverse of the 1919 Mercury Dime features a Roman fasces, a bundle of rods with a protruding axe blade, symbolizing unity and strength through the binding of individual states. An olive branch of peace is draped across the fasces, representing America’s peaceful intentions despite its strength. The design includes “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME,” creating a powerful symbolic statement that resonated particularly during the wartime years of production.
