Analysis & Context
Institutional Overview
The 1916 Mercury Dime is a notable piece of American numismatic history, struck by the United States Mint with a silver purity of .900. Weighing 0.0715 troy oz (2.22 g) and measuring 17.9 mm in diameter with a thickness of 1.35 mm, this coin is a testament to the artistry of Adolph A.
