Introduced in 1916, the Mercury Dime replaced the Barber Dime after that design completed its mandated 25-year run. Officially known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, the coin was designed by Adolph A. Weinman, who earned the opportunity through a national design competition. The 1937 Mercury Dime offered here is a beautiful proof that comes from an extremely limited mintage of only 5,756 coins. Today, the 1937 Mercury Dime is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
The 1937 Mercury Dime from Philadelphia circulated extensively throughout the eastern and central United States, where it served as a workhorse coin during the late Depression era and into World War II. Due to its massive mintage of over 56 million pieces, countless examples remained in pockets and cash registers for years, gradually accumulating wear from daily commerce. However, these 1937 Proof Mercury Dimes had a much lower mintage and offer a stunning example of the classic designs of the Mercury Dime Series.
The 1937 Mercury Dime available here is a proof specimen with a PR66 certification. The coin shows blue-teal and amber-gold iridescence in its toning, with a satin, proof surface. This beautiful proof comes from an extremely limited mintage of only 5,756 coins issued by the mint in 1937.
The obverse of the 1937 Mercury Dime portrays Liberty in a youthful left-facing profile, wearing a winged Phrygian cap representing freedom of thought. Weinman’s artistic style produced a design noted for its detailed elements, including Liberty’s flowing hair and the carefully crafted feathers of the cap. “LIBERTY” appears along the edge, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” placed near the neck and the date shown below.
The reverse of the 1937 Mercury Dime features a Roman fasces, symbolizing unity and strength derived from the binding of individual states. An olive branch drapes across the fasces, reflecting peaceful intent alongside national strength. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME” complete the design, highlighting its relevance during the wartime years of production.
