The 1936 Mercury Dime Unveiled

The Mercury Dime, minted from 1916 to 1945, is a ten-cent coin struck by the U.S. Mint.

1936 saw high production, making this dime common but collectible due to its age and design.

Designed by Adolph A. Weinman, the coin features Liberty with a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought.

The reverse showcases a fasces and olive branch, representing America's military readiness and love for peace.

Condition is key; 'Fine' grade may fetch $3, while 'Uncirculated' can command $30 or more.

Special mint marks like 'D' (Denver) or 'S' (San Francisco) can increase a dime's value.

The 1936-D and 1936-S are less common, making them more valuable to collectors.

Proof coins from 1936 are rare, with only 4,130 made, and can be worth hundreds of dollars.

Always consult a professional coin appraiser to accurately assess your Mercury Dime's worth.
