Weinman. The winged cap worn by Liberty became closely associated with Mercury, the Roman messenger god, resulting in the nickname Mercury Dime that collectors still use more than a century later. The reverse of the Mercury Dime Gold Coin displays a fasces crossed by an olive branch. Together, these symbols represent national strength, unity, lawful order, and a desire for peace, making the design one of the most recognizable in US coin history. **Silver Medal** The Silver Medal included in the set explores the period from 1916 to 1945 through a continuous artistic design. Liberty is shown with characteristics that reflect both defense and resolve during a time of global conflict, while the reverse highlights images tied to the Great Depression, Dust Bowl conditions, and Hooverville encampments. **History** Collectors may remember that the US Mint also issued a modern Mercury Dime in 2016. That release marked the 100th anniversary of the original 1916 designs and included gold versions of the Mercury Dime, Standing Liberty Quarter, and Walking Liberty Half Dollar. In the Best of the Mint Series, each coin once again reflects its original denomination through its gold weight, including 1/10 oz for the dime. **Ordering** For assistance with this product, contact BGASC customer service at 888-992-4272, connect with us through web chat, or send us an email. **Buying Gold And Silver Coins With BGASC Is Convenient And Secure** BGASC is Fast, Reliable, and Trusted.
