Weinman's design, and fake added D mint marks exist 1918: struck in the year World War One ended and the flu pandemic hit, and sharp strikes are hard to find 1919: from the year of the Prohibition amendment and the Black Sox scandal, where original frosty luster counts 1931: only about 3.15 million were made, the lowest Philadelphia mintage on the list 1938: from the year of Superman and "War of the Worlds," where natural toning can add eye appeal All five: 90 percent silver, and Full Bands examples are far scarcer 🔍 WHAT TO LOOK FOR ✅ No mint mark on the back left of the fasces means Philadelphia ✅ Look for Full Bands, where the center bands on the fasces are fully split and rounded ✅ A 1916 with a "D" needs authentication, since fake added mint marks exist ✅ Look for crisp wing feathers and hair on Liberty ✅ Look for doubling, die cracks, off-center strikes, and clipped planchets ✅ Natural toning is good, while blotchy, bright color may be artificial ✅ Weight should be 2.5 grams and diameter 17.9 millimeters with a reeded edge ✅ Never clean, dip, or polish silver coins ✅ Submit Full Bands candidates to PCGS or NGC 🏛️ COINS COVERED ⭐ 1916: First Year of the Mercury Dime ⭐ 1918: World War One Ends ⭐ 1919: Prohibition and the Black Sox ⭐ 1931: Low Mintage, Great Depression ⭐ 1938: Superman and "War of the Worlds" 💬 JOIN THE CONVERSATION Which Mercury dime are you checking first?
