2016 Centennial Gold Mercury Dime
The Winged Liberty Head dime, commonly referred to as the Mercury Dime, is one of the beloved coin design of US Constitutional silver.
It is a favorite of many silver stackers, as it is mine.
So when the United States Mint released a gold version of the Winged Liberty Head dime, coin enthusiasts and stackers alike were pleased, as I was!

I didn't know the mint made a gold mercury dime! That's really amazing, it looks really nice mixed in with the old silver coins. I've seen that design worn down, but not in perfect condition like new. It's probably not still in production is it. Maybe an ebay item. @ironshield
Neat, eh?! A gold dime! They sold out so quick with these dimes, and no longer available from the US Mint. You can get them in the secondary market, ebay for sure. Thanks for stopping by, my friend. I appreciate you!
@silversaver888 I am with you on the design of the winged Liberty! I tend to have a strong appreciation for coinage that has a classic Roman feel. Obviously, this does. I did not get one of these but I really appreciate it and how well it translates into gold! Thanks for sharing my friend!!
It is a beautiful gold coin to have in one's collection! The old coin designs are all outstanding. The $20 St Gauden's double eagle design of Liberty is beautiful, and so is Walking Liberty.
Still kicking myself for not getting one! There are a few gold pieces I really want, and that is one of them 😍 Good show sweetie! See you tomorrow, my SSFL👊💗
I thought that you would get one! I know that you would love this. If I had two, I would send you one. I shall see you tomorrow! Take care. SSFL:punch::heart:
it is a beautiful coin, honoring another beautiful coin.
Absolutely beautiful, this coin is. The two other gold centennial coins are really beautiful as well! The centennial gold set is to die for!
Raging stackitus is upon me!!!
I know, right! It is ALWAYS upon me too... and I have gold fever.. always. I've been walking (dead) sick with gold fever every day!
the gold one is at the top of my wish list for gold coins
A great gold goal, @corndogg42! If you can imagine it, you can see it. If you can see it, you can believe it. If you believe it, it will happen!
I need to hear that song now lol thanks

I love the Mercury design, it’s my favorite. Got a graded SP70 and a raw one from the mint.👍
