What is a 1940-P Mercury Dime?
The 1940-P Proof Mercury Dime is a silver coin that was manufactured at the Philadelphia mint. It has a legal tender value of $0.10. As a "Proof" coin, it was manufactured in a limited quantity, which makes it likely less available than "business strike" or "mint strike" coins which are intended for circulation. With only 11,827 coins minted, this is a very rare coin that is sought after by collectors. This coin contains a relatively small amount of silver at 2.24853 grams (0.07 oz. Adjusted Silver Weight).
