1925 10c

Coin / United States of America / 1925 / Philadelphia / Mercury Dimes / 10c

1925 Mercury dimes are common through the low-end uncirculated grades, a typical situation for most Philadelphia-minted Mercury dime issues. Many are well struck, and this is reflected with a fairly decent supply of Full Bands specimens. However, all examples of the 1925 Mercury dime in MS65 or above, regardless of Full Bands designation, are very scarce.
