Product Details: Presenting a remarkable 1916-D Mercury Dime, encapsulated in a protective PCGS holder with a grading of AG03. This particular example is significant not only for its year of mintage but also for the historical context surrounding its production during World War I, marking a pivotal period in American coinage. The obverse features the iconic depiction of Liberty, a design by Adolph A. Weinman that embodies the spirit of freedom and foresight. Despite its circulated condition, the details of Liberty's profile remain discernible, showcasing her distinctive winged cap and the 'In God We Trust' inscription, along with the date '1916' clearly visible. The mint mark 'D' indicates this coin was produced at the Denver Mint, making it a sought-after variety among collectors. Flipping to the reverse side, it showcases the classical imagery of a sprig of olive branches and a bundle of arrows, symbolizing peace and readiness, respectively. The lettering 'E Pluribus Unum' and 'One Dime' serves to highlight the coin's denomination within the wreath, while the overall design attests to the elegant artistry of early 20th-century U.S. coins. Due to the coin's age and rarity, especially in this condition, it represents both a collectible item and a piece of American history that numismatists treasure.
