The 1936 Mercury Dime is a piece of U.S. coinage history, minted during the Great Depression era.
Composed of 90% silver, its value goes beyond face value due to its metal content.
Collectors seek out the 1936 dime for its iconic Winged Liberty Head design by Adolph A. Weinman.
Mint marks play a key role: 'D' for Denver, 'S' for San Francisco, and none for Philadelphia.
Uncirculated dimes, especially with Full Bands details, command higher premiums.
The 1936-D and 1936-S are less common, making them more valuable to collectors.
Condition is crucial; grades range from Good (G) to Mint State (MS).
Special varieties, like the 1936 proof dime, can significantly increase the coin's value.
Market factors affect value: silver prices, collector demand, and historical interest.
