1928 Mercury (Winged Liberty) Dime, 90% Silver
A nearly century-old silver dime from the heart of the Roaring Twenties — the Mercury dime is one of the most beloved designs in American coinage. Both sides photograph well and the design is fully readable throughout. Details: - Date: 1928 - Mint Mark: Philadelphia (no mint mark — confirmed on reverse) - Denomination: One Dime - Series: Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) Dime - Silver Content: 90% silver, pre-1965 - Designer: Adolph A. Weinman Circulated with moderate even wear — date, lettering, and Liberty's portrait are all clear; the fasces and bands on the reverse show expected flatness. A solid mid-grade example. Despite the nickname, the figure on this coin isn't Mercury at all — it's Liberty wearing a winged cap, a symbol of freedom of thought that Weinman intended from the start. 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.
