These circulated 90% silver Mercury Dimes are sold by the $1 face value. Each $1 face value contains 10 individual Mercury dimes which total to approximately .715 ozt of pure silver, but this varies based on the amount of wear on each coin. Sometimes referred to as “junk silver” in the silver bullion market, these coins are circulated and bought/sold primarily for their 90 percent silver content, however Mercury Dimes are a popular coin for collectors as well as investors.

You may buy any quantity face value desired. Quantities of 5 ($5 face value) will be shipped in paper coin rolls. Quantities of 100 ($100 face value) will be shipped in canvas coin bags. All other increments will likely be shipped in clear ziptop bags.

For example:

• Quantity 1 = $1 Face Value (10 dimes in ziptop bag)
• Quantity 5 = $5 Face Value (50 dimes in paper coin roll)
• Quantity 47 = $47 Face Value (450 dimes in 9 paper coin rolls + 20 dimes in ziptop bag)
• Quantity 100 = $100 Face Value (1,000 dimes in canvas coin bag)
• Quantity 200 = $200 Face Value (2,000 dimes in 2 separate canvas coin bags)

The Mercury Dime was designed by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman and was minted from 1916 – 1945. Although most commonly known as the “Mercury” dime, the obverse of this beautiful U.S. coin doesn’t actually depict the Roman messenger god. The portrait on this dime, also known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, is of the mythological goddess Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, a classic Western symbol of liberty and freedom, with its wings intended to symbolize freedom of thought. The reverse design, a fasces juxtaposed with an olive branch, was intended to symbolize America’s readiness for war, combined with its desire for peace.

These Mercury dime coins are sold as cull/circulated coins. We do not cherry pick, look for key dates, or pull anything out unless it looks completely slick (no visible image). The condition and wear on these old, highly circulated coins are completely random and can vary from coin to coin.
