Who loves Mercury Dimes? I do!
The Winged Liberty Dime are considered one of the most beautiful and iconic designs in American coinage.
It is commonly called the Mercury Dime and got its common name from its obverse depiction of the young Liberty which was confused with the Roman god Mercury.
As a compliment to that design, Limited Mintage minted these 1/10 troy ounce and 1/4 troy ounce Silver Rounds.
