1940-D Mercury Dime Main Image

Grade

The 1940-D Mercury dime was struck in 90% silver at the Denver Mint while war raged in Europe. Hitler`s German forces invaded Belgium and the Netherlands, then marched through France into Paris. Soon they would launch bombing raids over London. A peacetime military draft lottery was held in the United States as the prospect of war loomed larger. The 1940-D Mercury dime is a beautiful and precious memento of pre-WWII America.

The Mercury dime of 1916-1945 is hailed as one of America`s most beautiful and artistically pleasing coins. Interestingly, the coin is actually misnamed. The obverse design depicts Liberty wearing a winged cap (to signify freedom of thought), not the male god Mercury seen wearing a similar winged cap. Because the Mercury reference was so widely adopted, the series is far better known as the Mercury dime than its other name, the Winged Liberty Head dime.

1935-D Mercury Dime Main Image

The 90% silver Mercury dimes of 1916-1945 were part of a major re-design of silver coins. The dime, quarter, and half dollar all received new, unrelated, and highly artistic designs in 1916. It was a big change from the almost identical Liberty Head or Barber designs found on all three coins since 1892. Sculptor A. A. Weinman created impressive designs for both the dime and half dollar, while fellow sculptor Hermon A. MacNeil accomplished a beautiful design for the quarter.

The introduction of the Mercury dime, Standing Liberty quarter, and Liberty Walking half dollar in 1916 was historic. For the first time, these silver U.S. coins did not bear similar designs. Each motif had to stand on its own merit, and all three were extremely well received. In fact, A. A. Weinman`s designs for the dime and half dollar, and Hermon A. MacNeil`s design for the quarter, have been acclaimed as true and lasting works of art.
