1927-S Mercury Dime

Struck over 75 years ago at the San Francisco Mint, the 1927-S Mercury dime represents one of the most popular U.S. coin series among collectors. Sculptor A. A. Weinman's design has been acclaimed as a premier work of coinage art. Struck in 90% silver, these coins were produced during the year that Charles Lindbergh successfully completed the first solo non-stop flight from New York to Paris, and George Herman "Babe" Ruth hit 60 home runs.
