This is a 1928 Mercury Dime, a notable coin in the United States numismatic community. Minted in San Francisco, it features the iconic Winged Liberty Head design created by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, a hallmark of the Mercury Dime series. With a denomination of 10 cents, this dime weighs approximately 2.5 grams and has a diameter of 17.8 millimeters. The coin is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, which contributes to its intrinsic value. The 1928-S Mercury Dime boasts a mintage of 7,400,000 coins, making it relatively common among collectors, though specific grades can significantly affect its market value. Coins from this series are sought after not only for their beautiful design but also for their historical significance, representing a period of American coinage in the early 20th century. Given its production type as a mint strike from the San Francisco Mint, the coin's condition—along with factors like demand and collector interest—will influence its grading, and ultimately its value in the marketplace.
