1920-S Mercury Dime 90% Silver Coin

1920-S Mercury Dime 90% Silver Coin Very Good condition, see photos. The 1920-S Mercury Dime is a classic and highly sought-after piece of American numismatic history, struck at the San Francisco Mint from 90% fine silver. With a total mintage of just over 13.8 million coins, finding an example in Very Good (VG) condition is a rewarding acquisition for collectors focusing on early, branch-mint Mercury dimes. In this grade, the coin exhibits honest, distinct wear from its time in commerce during the Roaring Twenties, yet the major design elements remain crisp and clear. On the obverse, Winged Liberty’s portrait retains a strong profile, with a well-defined hairline and a clear separation between her cap and the wing feathers. The reverse features the traditional fasces and olive branch, showing flattened but distinctly separate vertical rods and readable lettering along the rim. Combining historical charm with its inherent precious metal value, this VG 1920-S dime serves as a fantastic, tangible anchor piece for any mid-grade fractional silver collection.
