Centennial Gold Coin Tribute
In 2016, the U.S. Mint released special gold versions of three classic early 20th-century coin designs to celebrate their 100th anniversaries:
- Mercury Dime
- Standing Liberty Quarter
- Walking Liberty Half Dollar
The Gold Mercury Dime became especially popular due to its compact size, classic artwork, and limited mintage. Its combination of historic American coin design and modern .9999 fine gold purity makes it one of the standout modern commemorative gold coins produced by the U.S. Mint.
