Description :

A mixed lot of vintage U.S. coins featuring fourteen (14) Mercury dimes—officially the Winged Liberty Head design—struck in 90% silver between 1916 and 1945. These dimes include visible examples from 1942 and 1945, showcasing classic pre-war minting. Accompanying them is a group of 1943 Lincoln “Steel” cents, the one-year emergency issue produced during World War II using zinc-coated steel to conserve copper. The steel cents retain their signature pale gray tone from the zinc finish.

Set Includes:

  • (14) Mercury dimes, 90% silver, dated between 1916–1945 (visible 1942 & 1945 examples)

  • Group of 1943 Lincoln steel cents, zinc-coated wartime issue

Highlights:

  • Classic silver dimes with both melt value and collector appeal

  • Wartime steel cents — iconic one-year emergency issue

  • Great starter lot for coin collectors, silver stackers, or history buffs
