The Best of the Mint series was created by the United States Mint to highlight some of the most legendary coin designs ever produced in American numismatics. Selected through public voting and expert recommendations, the series features reissued 24-karat gold tributes paired with newly designed silver companion medals that reinterpret the original themes for modern collectors. The first release in the program revisits Adolph A. Weinman’s famous Winged Liberty Head design, widely known as the Mercury Dime, which circulated from 1916 through 1945. Throughout its circulation, the Mercury Dime witnessed some of the most transformative events in American history, including the Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, and both World Wars.
