• Mercury dimes were produced from 1916 to 1945 before being replaced by the Roosevelt dime in 1946.

• Graded by MEGA – Middle East Grading Alliance.

The coin could come from three mints:
• Philadelphia (no mint mark)
• Denver (D)
• San Francisco (S)

Mint marks appear on the reverse near the bottom left of the fasces.

Approximate Market Value
• XF-45 condition: about $8 – $15 USD depending on mint mark and eye appeal.
• Value also depends partly on its silver content (~2.25 g pure silver).

Collector Note
Mercury dimes are one of the most popular U.S. silver coins because of their design and historical period.
