The 1936 Mercury Dime is a piece of U.S. coinage history, minted during the Great Depression era.
Composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, this dime features the iconic Winged Liberty Head design.
Its value can range from a few dollars to over $1,000, depending on condition and mint mark.
Key mint marks to look for are 'D' (Denver), 'S' (San Francisco), and no mark for Philadelphia.
Uncirculated or 'mint state' dimes fetch the highest prices among collectors.
Special varieties, like the Full Bands on the reverse, can significantly increase the dime's value.
1936 Mercury Dimes with Full Split Bands (FSB) are highly prized and rare, commanding premium prices.
Condition is graded on a scale from Good (G) to Mint State (MS), with MS-65 and higher being the most valuable.
To determine the exact value of your 1936 Mercury Dime, consult a professional coin appraiser.
Always handle your Mercury Dimes with care to preserve their condition and value for future generations.
