The coin you see photographed here is the exact coin the winner will receive encased in a 2x2 inch holder for protection.
The Mercury dime is a ten-cent coin struck by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. Designed by Adolph Weinman and also referred to as the Winged Liberty Head dime, it gained its common name as the obverse depiction of a young Liberty, identifiable by her winged Phrygian cap, was confused with the Roman god Mercury. Weinman is believed to have used Elsie Stevens, the wife of lawyer and poet Wallace Stevens, as a model.
I photograph single coins in my hand because of my skin tone I find my lighting shows up the coin my better especially when it comes to the rims of the coin, something that both new and old collectors should take into consideration when investing in any coin. A coins RIM alone may make or break the value of the coin! Remember this :)
I do not clean the coins I sell.
I have never and will never "Enhance" my photographs to change the appearance of the coin(s) I sell. I do not use "Photo-shop" or any other program. I do not use a "Scanner" ...I do not use "Stock" photos, the coin you see (Unless otherwise noted) is the EXACT coin you will get.
