The Mercury Dime is one of America’s most beloved silver coins. It depicts Liberty in a winged cap to represent freedom of thought – but people thought it showed Mercury, the ancient messenger of the gods who wore wings on his sandals. As a result, it became known as the Mercury Dime! The last coins were minted during World War II from 1942 to 1945, and this collection includes one fabulous coin from each of the World War II years … including the last-ever coin from 1945. These coins disappeared from circulation over 60 years ago, so order now to own this historic set! Struck in .900 silver.
