1921 Denver Silver Mercury Dime Very Good Condition

Although this coin is commonly called the Mercury dime, the main device is in fact a representation of Liberty. The wings crowning her cap are intended to symbolize liberty of thought. The designer's monogram A W is to the right of the neck. The Mint also created a 2016 gold Mercury dime at a smaller dimension. The 1921-D Mercury dime, like its Philadelphia-mint counterpart, is a very scarce semi-key coin in all grades. It has the second-lowest mintage in the series, behind only the elusive 1916-D Mercury dime. While the mintage for this piece is above 1 million, only a small fraction of these coins survived in collectible grades.
