The US Mint introduced the Mercury Dime in 1916, replacing the Barber Dime once it reached the end of its required 25-year lifespan. Though commonly referred to as the Mercury Dime, its official name is the Winged Liberty Head Dime. The design was created by Adolph A. Weinman after he won a competition to create new coinage designs. This 1940 Mercury Dime comes from a limited proof release of just 11,827 coins. Right now, the 1940 Mercury Dime is available at JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This 1940 Mercury Dime comes from a limited proof release in 1940 and boasts a PR67 certification. The coin features blast-white surfaces with bright, frosted luster and reflective background fields. The devices on both sides are sharply struck and well-defined, with notably clean fields, helping to accent the proof visuals.
The 1940 Mercury Dime from Philadelphia had an impressive mintage of 65,361,827 pieces, making it one of the most common dates in the entire series. Struck during a year of industrial mobilization as Europe was already at war, these coins flooded into circulation to serve the growing economy. The Philadelphia issue is highly accessible to collectors in all grades, though pristine examples with full split bands still command respect for their technical quality.
The obverse of the 1940 Mercury Dime depicts Liberty in a youthful left-facing profile, wearing a winged Phrygian cap that symbolizes freedom of thought. Weinman’s design stands out for its detailed craftsmanship, including Liberty’s flowing hair and the finely detailed wings of the cap. “LIBERTY” is displayed along the rim, with “IN GOD WE TRUST” placed near the neck and the date shown below.
The reverse of the 1940 Mercury Dime features a Roman fasces, a traditional symbol of strength through unity, with bound rods representing the states. An olive branch rests across the fasces, symbolizing peace alongside strength. The inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,” “E PLURIBUS UNUM,” and “ONE DIME” frame the design, emphasizing its symbolic meaning during the wartime years.
