1920 Mercury Head Silver Dime Uncirculated
1920 Mercury Head Silver Dime Uncirculated
This 1920 Mercury Head Silver Dime is a beautiful example of early 20th-century American coinage, featuring the iconic Winged Liberty Head design by Adolph A. Weinman. Struck in silver, this uncirculated coin retains its original mint luster and sharp strike details, particularly visible in the feathers of Liberty's cap and the horizontal bands of the fasces on the reverse. The 1920 Philadelphia mint issue is a classic addition for any collector seeking high-grade silver coinage from the roaring twenties. This specimen is housed in a protective white cardboard flip for long-term preservation and display.
1920 Mercury Head Silver Dime
Condition: This item appears to be in circulated condition rather than uncirculated, showing visible wear on the high points of Liberty’s hair and the feathers of her cap on the obverse. The reverse displays wear on the horizontal bands of the fasces. The mint is Philadelphia as there is no mint mark present. The metal content for this 1920 issue is 90% silver and 10% copper. The historical context features the Winged Liberty Head design by Adolph A. Weinman, commonly referred to as the Mercury dime, which was produced during an era of transition following World War I. The strike type is a standard business strike. No official third-party grading is present; the coin is housed in a cardboard 2x2 flip.
