The year 1916 was a busy one for the United States Mint, seeing a major push to renew American coinage for the needs of the early 20th century: especially due to the reverberations of the Great War already playing out on the European continent. America had thus far remained neutral, but could not do so for much longer, and designs aimed at rejuvenating the coin supply reflected hopes for both victory and peace. One of those designs, the Mercury Dime, would become one of the most beloved of collectors’ series, celebrated on its 100th Anniversary with an official pure gold collectible. The team at JM Bullion offers the 2016 1/10 oz American Gold Mercury Dime Coin in flawless condition for your collection.
Coin Highlights:
The Winged Liberty design created by Adolph A. Weinman was a major feature of the early 20th-century coins created to rejuvenate the era’s American currency. Due to the wings appearing on Lady Liberty’s helm on these coins — a helm resonant with the martial concerns of the Great War years — the dimes minted as part of this process are called “Mercury dimes” in reference to the winged heels of the ancient Roman deity Mercury.
The 2016 American Gold Mercury Dime Coin is a tenth-ounce pure gold Centennial collectible that commemorates that famous design, available in perfect condition as certified by the industry-leading experts of the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC). It ships with a label certifying its Specimen Proof 70 grade in a protective plastic slab.
The obverse field features a bust of Winged Liberty along with the “W” mint mark and the inscriptions “LIBERTY,” “IN GOD WE TRUST” and “2016.” The reverse field features a Roman fasces and an olive branch symbolizing American readiness and the desire for peace, along with the inscriptions “UNITED STATES OF AMERICA” and “E PLURIBUS UNUM” and confirmations of the coin’s face value and gold content.
