Mercury Winged Liberty Copper Round $130
This Mercury Winged Liberty Copper Round is a stunning tribute to the classic American coinage design originally created by Adolph A. Weinman. Struck in .999 pure copper, the obverse features the iconic profile of Lady Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap with wings, a symbol intended to represent freedom of thought, though it famously led to the design being nicknamed the "Mercury Dime." The round showcases a brilliant reddish-brown metallic luster and high-relief detailing that highlights the intricate feathers of the wings and the flowing locks of hair. Priced at $130, this piece comes protected in a clear vinyl flip with a tracking label numbered 0094, ensuring its condition is preserved for collectors. This round is an excellent choice for those looking to diversify their bullion portfolio with high-purity copper while celebrating one of the most beloved motifs in numismatic history.
Condition: The item appears to be in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU) condition, characterized by a strong luster and sharp details on the hair and feathers. There are minor surface abrasions and bag marks consistent with bulk handling, but no significant signs of wear or circulation. The rim is well-defined and sharp.
Mint: Private mint (unspecified).
Metal content: .999 fine copper.
Historical context: This round features the obverse design of the Mercury Dime, also known as the Winged Liberty Head dime, originally designed by Adolph A. Weinman. The design was minted for United States currency from 1916 to 1945. Modern copper rounds like this are produced by various private mints as bullion investments or collectibles that pay homage to classic American coinage.
Strike type: Business strike.
