1943 P Mercury Dime 10C 90% Silver Philadelphia WWII Winged Liberty Very Fine

Offered here is a 1943 Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) dime, struck at the Philadelphia Mint during World War II. There is no mint mark on the reverse, left of the fasces base, which is correct for Philadelphia. Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the Mercury dime is one of the most admired U.S. silver designs.

The date 1943 is clear, LIBERTY and IN GOD WE TRUST are bold, and every letter of UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, E PLURIBUS UNUM and ONE DIME stands clear of the rim.

Grade: Very Fine. The vertical rods of the fasces are complete, the horizontal bands are visible, and the diagonal bands show on the fasces. The upper wing feathers are clearly separated, the hairline shows and the hair curls are outlined, with the highest points worn smooth.

Condition, please read: heavy brown toning and residue patches on the cheek, hair, wing and neck and along the fasces, with mottled gray-brown fields and darker toning at the rims. Scattered small marks from circulation on both sides. No rim damage or holes. Please see all the photos, which are the best description.

Composition: 90% silver, 10% copper (0.0723 oz actual silver weight)
Condition: Ungraded (raw coin, not certified)
