Struck by the United States Mint in 1/10 troy oz of .9999 fine gold, this special issue re-creates the original 1916 Mercury Dime design in stunning prooflike detail as part of the U.S. Mint’s “Best of the Mint” Semiquincentennial program honoring America’s 250th anniversary in 2026.
First issued in 1916, the original Mercury Dime was designed by celebrated sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, who also created the famed Walking Liberty half dollar. Though commonly called the “Mercury” dime, the obverse actually depicts Liberty wearing a winged cap.
The coin circulated from 1916 through 1945, witnessing the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and World War II. During those decades it became one of the most admired U.S. coin designs, cherished for its artistry and symbolism. The new 2026 gold reissue brings this historic motif back to life in ultra-high purity gold, allowing collectors to own a modern, premium version of a 20th-century classic.
