 In honor of the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, the Mint curated a list of 21 historic coins spanning our Nation's history, from its founding in 1792 to the 21st century. Following public input and expert recommendation, five Best of the Mint coins were selected for this special series: the 1916 Mercury dime, the 1916 Standing Liberty quarter Dollar, the 1916 Walking Liberty half dollar, the 1804 Silver Dollar, and the 1907 Saint-Gaudens High Relief $20 Gold Coin. The Best of the Mint 1916 Mercury dime Gold Coin and Silver Medal Set features a 24-karat, one-tenth-ounce fine gold coin and a one-ounce medal made of 99.9% fine silver. Pricing for this product is in accordance with the United States Mint pricing range table for gold coins. 1916 Mercury Dime 24K Gold Coin Check out US Mint Gold Mercury Dimes on ebay
 The coin's obverse (heads) depicts Liberty in profile facing left, wearing a winged cap symbolizing freedom of thought. Inscriptions are "LIBERTY," "IN GOD WE TRUST," and "1916." To commemorate the Semiquincentennial of our Nation's founding, the coin features a unique Liberty Bell privy mark with the numeral "250." The coin's reverse (tails) depicts a fasces (a bundle of rods) to symbolize strength through unity. The battle ax and the olive branch represent America's military readiness and her desire for peace. Inscriptions are "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA," "E PLURIBUS UNUM," and "ONE DIME." 1916 Mercury Dime - Inspired Silver Medal Also known as the Winged Liberty Dime, the medal's obverse features a design that spans from the obverse to the reverse and reflects the original coin's period of circulation from 1916 through 1945. The design represents years of great change and upheaval for the United States, both domestically and abroad. Observing that the United States would enter two world wars during this period, Liberty is depicted in both defensive and offensive postures. The medal's obverse design extends to the reverse with rays emitting from Liberty's sword, symbolic of hope at the end of conflict. The Hooverville shacks represent the Great Depression, and the swirling waves in the background represent the Dust Bowl. The inscription is "1916-1945."

Gotta admit, that one is tempting. Tempting, but not happening.  |

Would love to get one of these but with the anticipated price exceeding $800, I dont think I will. I got the 2016 back in 2020 in an sp70 for $200...
I've been collecting for a couple years... Favorite Coin's are Standing Liberty quarters, Working on my type set | Coffee, Corvettes, Coins & the CCF what could be better? |

Pricing of this series is the story. I would like this one, but I have decided that I will go for the SLQ. The others are probably out of reach at the moment.

Pricing will be the story. Getting the 5 sets is gonna be expensive. I figure this will sell out just wonder how long it takes.

I will likely grab one for myself, crazy how expensive this would be compared to the 2016 Mercury centennial gold coin at just $205 each back then. And people think it was expensive at the time.

The 1916 date is a deal stopper for me
Makes it seem more like a replica or a medallion and less of a coin
I'm happy with my 2016 set

Probably. That's the way it usually is in a volatile precious metals market. It works both ways too. You wouldn't like it if the mint commited to a price a week in advance, have the price of the metal drop 10% and you're stuck with an inflated price. Just know when they finally release the price on any issue it will seem unreasonably high.

I noticed that the FIFA commemorative coins are going on sale at the same time. May the odds be ever in your favor.

I predict those World Cup coins don't even make it to 10,000 sold, with 100,000 authorized. Pretty sure anyone who wants one tomorrow will be able to sneak in there.
