The listing, 1917-S Rare Mercury Winged Liberty Silver Dime Coin San Francisco Ca. Mint! 102 Years Old! has ended.
The curved top of the "S" mint mark is visible above the worn edge of the dime. It is FULLY curved and so there is no doubt it is the "S" and not the "D"
The surface of this dime is slightly brighter and clearer than is seen here in the photos due to poor lighting at the time the pics were taken
The coin you see photographed here is the exact coin the winner will receive encased in a 2x2 inch holder for protection.
The Mercury dime is a ten-cent coin struck by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. Designed by Adolph Weinman and also referred to as the Winged Liberty Head dime, it gained its common name as the obverse depiction of a young Liberty, identifiable by her winged Phrygian cap, was confused with the Roman god Mercury. Weinman is believed to have used Elsie Stevens, the wife of lawyer and poet Wallace Stevens, as a model.
I have never and will never "Enhance" my photographs to change the appearance of the coin(s) I sell. I do not use "Photo-shop" or any other program. I do not use a "Scanner" ...I do not use "Stock" photos, the coin you see (Unless otherwise noted) is the EXACT coin you will get.
Thank you for stopping by :)
