The 2 oz Mercury Dime Design silver round is a high-relief collectible tribute to one of the most popular and widely circulated designs in American numismatic history, the Adolph Weinman-designed Winged Liberty Head (Mercury) Dime from 1916-1945.
It is a .999 fine silver round struck by privately owned mints, one of the largest in the world, CNT Minting (Coin N' Things), with over 100 years of minting legacy, featuring high-relief two-sided reproductions of Weinman's iconic design on a 39mm canvas.
Because of the high-relief striking, the Winged Liberty portrait exudes three-dimensional depth in images that the original 17.9mm dime never could produce and is a wise 2 oz silver investment, as well as a visually striking piece of American numismatic history.
The Obverse Profile — "Liberty" with the motto "E Pluribus Unum."
The obverse features a portrait of Adolph Weinman's design "Lady Liberty" in left-profile high relief wearing a winged Phrygian cap, which was mistaken by the public for the helmet of the Roman god Mercury and hence the famous "Mercury" nickname.
Weinman's true message was deeper: Wings represent “liberty of thought," freedom of the mind.
It is thought that the portrait was based on one of Elsie Stevens, the wife of the American poet Wallace Stevens, which was sculpted by Weinman in 1913.
Below the portrait is the year "1916," which refers to the year the Mercury dime was issued. The 'LIBERTY' is in the top line and the ‘IN GOD WE TRUST' is on the left.
The Reverse Profile — Fasces and Olive Branch
On the back is an ancient Roman symbol of collective power, civic vitality, and the law: a bundle of rods bound with leather straps (a "fasces") surrounded by an olive branch of peace, the emblem of the original Mercury dime.
The pairing is intentional—strength with peace, justice with mercy.
The inscriptions are "E PLURIBUS UNUM," "TWO TROY OUNCE," and ".999 SILVER."
In 1916, the U.S. Mint asked three outside sculptors to redesign the dime, quarter, and half dollar.
Adolph Weinman, a student of the famed Augustus Saint-Gaudens, received two commissions, the dime and the half dollar.
The Barber dime was discontinued on the same day as the Mercury dime, October 30, 1916.
The Winged Liberty Head dime was in circulation for 29 years (1916–1945) during the Roaring Twenties, Great Depression, and World War II.
It was replaced by the Roosevelt dime in 1946, and collectors were sad to see the end of what many believe to be the most handsome dime design in American history.
The durability of the design was proven in 2017 when the U.S. Mint chose to use Weinman's Winged Liberty for the obverse of the U.S. Palladium Eagle, the country's first-ever palladium coin.
Founded in 1972, Coin N' Things (CNT) Minting has become one of the oldest and largest privately owned mints in the world with a minting history of 100+ years.
From father to son, CNT has earned a worldwide reputation for precision high-relief striking and faithful tributes to classic American coinage.
