First issued in 1916, the Mercury Dime replaced the Barber Dime once that design satisfied its required 25-year term in circulation. Although it is commonly referred to as the Mercury Dime, the coin’s official title is the Winged Liberty Head Dime. Its design was created by Adolph A. Weinman, who was chosen through a competitive selection process held by the US Mint. This 1929 Mercury Dime is a tangible look at the economic atmosphere of America in 1929, and features a consistent, frosted finish with minor surface nuances consistent with its MS65 grade. Now, the 1929 Mercury Dime is available online at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1929 Mercury Dime is available in Mint State 65 condition with an FB designation prized by collectors. FB stands for Full Bands, a reference to the high-quality, sharp strike of the reverse design. It specifically refers to the central horizontal bands on the fasces, appearing as fully separated bands with no breaks or abrasions. The coin shows off its classical designs with balanced details, sharp design strikes, clear lettering, and a strong, even luster.
The obverse of the 1929 Mercury Dime displays a youthful Liberty facing left, adorned with a winged Phrygian cap symbolizing freedom of thought. Weinman’s design is well known for its refined craftsmanship, seen in details such as Liberty’s flowing hair and the intricate feathering of the cap. The inscription “LIBERTY” follows the outer rim, while “IN GOD WE TRUST” appears near the neck, and the date rests below.
The reverse of the 1929 Mercury Dime features a Roman fasces, an ancient symbol representing strength through unity, with the bundled rods standing for the collective states. An olive branch is shown across the fasces, conveying peace alongside strength. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME” frame the design, underscoring its symbolic importance during the World War I era.
The 1929 Mercury Dime from Philadelphia had a mintage of 25,970,000 coins, marking it as one of the more common dates in the series. Struck during the year of the Great Depression’s onset, these dimes would circulate extensively throughout the difficult economic decade that followed. While plentiful in lower grades, specimens with full split bands on the reverse fasces and strong obverse details command premium prices.
