What is a 1916-S Mercury Dime?

The 1916-S Mercury Dime is a silver coin that was minted at the San Francisco mint. It has a legal tender value of $0.10. This was produced as a "Mint Strike" coin which usually means it was produced for use as a monetary vessel. A very large number of these coins were minted (10,450,000 to be exact), making this a less-collectible item. This coin was minted in the first year of its series, and is a more popular coin to collectors for that reason, but not necessarily to investors. This coin contains a relatively small amount of silver at 2.24853 grams (0.07 oz. Adjusted Silver Weight).
