1920'S THE GOLDEN YEARS OF THE MERCURY DIME

1920'S THE GOLDEN YEARS OF THE MERCURY DIME

"The War to End All Wars was over. Liberty's reach extended throughout the western world. At home, the "roaring Twenties" demonstrated a new sense of this political and personal freedom. The emotions of the 1920s America were captured in the Mercury Dime, the first new coin design of the Twentieth Century. It features the head of Liberty looking both classical and modern, with a winged cap to symbolize freedom and thought."
