Silver Mercury Dime Necklace

“Mercury” dimes were minted by the United States government from 1916 to 1945 and feature a bust of a young Lady Liberty wearing a winged cap, similar to the Roman god Mercury. These coins are made of 90% silver and 10% copper, standard for U.S. coins of the era. The Mercury dime is held by a high-quality sterling silver bezel, to prevent damage to the coin, and hangs on an eighteen-inch sterling silver chain.
