The 1926 San Francisco Mercury Dime is a notable collectible coin in the series of dimes produced by the United States Mint between 1916 and 1945. Designed by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman, the Mercury Dime features the image of Liberty wearing a winged cap on the obverse and a fasces with an olive branch on the reverse. The 1926-S variety, minted in San Francisco, is particularly sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage compared to other years, making it a valuable addition to both numismatic collections and investment portfolios. Collectors often evaluate the coin based on its condition, rarity, and historical significance.
