Key Specifications: Design Type: Winged Liberty Head ("Mercury") Dime Quantity: 14 Coins Date Range: 1920–1929 Composition: 90% Silver, 10% Copper Total Silver Weight: Approx. 1.013 troy oz of actual silver content (ASW) Mints Represented: Philadelphia (No Mint Mark), Denver ("D"), San Francisco ("S") Date & Mint Breakdown (Obverse Analysis): 1920: (1) Circulated details. 1923: (2) Clean profiles, standard wear. 1924: (1) Clear date, honest circulation. 1926: (3) Steady details; one example retains sharper hair lines. 1927: (3) Includes one heavily oxidized/darkly toned specimen with deep historical character, and two classic gray surfaces. 1928: (1) Nicely defined profile lines. 1929: (3) Decent late-decade examples with readable dates. Reverse Surface & Condition Notes: Grading Spectrum: Overall Good (G) to Very Fine (VF) details across the lot. Fasces Details: High-relief center bands are flatly worn down on the earlier dates as is typical for the series, while a few of the late-1920s pieces retain partial vertical line distinctions. Mint Marks: Close inspection reveals a mix of branch mints, including an "S" (San Francisco) and a "D" (Denver) visible on the lower left near the olive branch base on select reverses. Eye Appeal: Surfaces range from classic silver-gray patina to dark environmental carbon spotting/toning on select pieces (notably one 1927 reverse which exhibits localized dark residue near the rim). No major bent rims or severe deep gouges detected. Numismatic Value: An excellent instant collection or immediate inventory boost for a coin dealer. Buying 1920s silver type coins in a bulk sequence eliminates the hassle of tracking down individual transition dates. All coins are sold uncertified and uncleaned to protect their original historical surfaces.
