The 2016 Centennial Gold Mercury Dime
The Winged Liberty Head dime, commonly referred to as the Mercury Dime, is one of the beloved coin design of US Constitutional silver.
It is a favorite of many silver stackers, as it is mine.
So when the United States Mint released a gold version of the Winged Liberty Head dime, coin enthusiasts and stackers alike were pleased, as I was!
The 2016 Mercury Dime Centennial Gold Coin
On the obverse of the coin is Adolf A. Weinman's Winged Liberty. The Winged Liberty design was confused by many as Mercury, the Roman messenger god, hence the common usage of Mercury Dime. The engravings includes the "Liberty" and "In God We Trust", the year of issue, and an AW initial for Weinman.
The reverse side of the coin features Weinmans original reverse design of a Roman fasces and an olive branch. These combined images represent Americas military might and readiness, yet a determination for peace. Engravings on this face include United States of America, One Dime, and E Pluribus Unum.
