1926 Mercury (Winged Liberty) Dime, 90% Silver
A nearly century-old silver dime with a design that still turns heads. The obverse reads 1926 clearly, and the reverse shows the fasces and olive branch with no mint mark visible — Philadelphia strike. Details: - Date: 1926 - Mint: Philadelphia (no mint mark) - Series: Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) Dime - Denomination: One Dime - Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper - Silver content: 0.0723 troy oz Circulated with moderate wear — the high points on Liberty's cheek and cap are smoothed, but the date, lettering, and major design elements are all readable. Some light scratches and honest age patina throughout. Designed by Adolph Weinman, the "Mercury" dime is actually Winged Liberty — the winged cap represents freedom of thought, not the Roman god, though the nickname stuck from day one. Scrap silver melt value: about $5.01 (≈0.0723 ozt silver at a $69.30/ozt spot price, Aug 23, 2026). This is the raw junk-silver MELT value of the metal only — NOT an estimate of the coin's collector value based on its date, mint mark, grade, or condition. Gavel AI Estimated Value: $6.26–$7.77 (grade: Fine). This is an automated estimate based on the coin's visible condition — for reference only, not a professional appraisal or guarantee. The final price is set by the bidding. *Generated with Gavel AI — please ask questions if the description doesn't seem right.
