The 2016-W Gold Mercury Dime Centennial is a one-time commemorative issue struck by the United States Mint at West Point to mark the 100th anniversary of Adolph Weinman's classic Mercury Dime design. Struck in .9999 fine gold at a weight of 1/10 troy ounce, it stands as a direct tribute to one of the most admired coin designs in American numismatic history. This example has been certified and graded SP70 by PCGS, the highest possible grade on the Specimen scale.
What distinguishes this coin is its dual identity as both a precision gold product and a significant numismatic piece. It carries no face value denomination, but was issued as a collector and commemorative item with a distinctly limited production run. We carry this graded example for buyers who want the combination of verifiable gold content and certified condition from one of the most respected third-party grading services in the world.

We carry this graded example for buyers who want the combination of verifiable gold content and certified condition from one of the most respected third-party grading services in the world.
Adolph Weinman's Mercury Dime, formally known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, entered circulation in 1916 and remained in production through 1945. Weinman's design replaced the Barber Dime and was immediately praised for its artistic quality, representing a high point in American coinage during the early 20th century. The winged cap worn by the figure on the obverse was mistaken by many for the Roman god Mercury, and the popular name stuck.
The United States Mint introduced the Gold Mercury Dime Centennial in 2016 as part of a broader series celebrating the centennial anniversaries of three classic Weinman-designed coins. The series included the Walking Liberty Half Dollar and the Standing Liberty Quarter alongside the Mercury Dime. The gold dime was struck at the West Point Mint, which has served as the primary production facility for the United States Mint's most significant gold and silver programs since the 1980s.
The 2016 release attracted strong demand from both numismatic collectors and gold buyers, and it sold out quickly during its initial offering period. Because the coin was produced in a single year with no plans for reissuance, the total population of certified examples in top grades remains permanently fixed. PCGS-graded SP70 examples represent the finest specimens from that production, with no contact marks, blemishes, or imperfections visible under standard magnification.
The obverse recreates Weinman's original Winged Liberty Head portrait in stunning detail, rendered in high relief on a .9999 fine gold planchet. The figure, commonly called Mercury, faces left wearing a winged Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom of thought. The level of sculptural depth achieved in this gold version surpasses what was possible in the original silver circulation strikes, giving the portrait an immediacy and dimensionality that collectors and admirers of Weinman's work appreciate.
The reverse features a fasces, a bundle of rods bound around an axe that symbolizes national unity and strength, alongside an olive branch representing peace. Both symbols were present in Weinman's original design, and the gold centennial version reproduces them faithfully. The coin's Specimen finish produces surfaces that are sharper and more refined than a standard bullion strike, with a particular clarity in the fields and devices that contributes to its appeal as a display-quality piece.
At 1/10 troy ounce, the Gold Mercury Dime Centennial occupies a practical price point that places it within reach for buyers who want certified fine gold without committing to the cost of a full ounce coin. The fractional size also makes it well-suited for gifting or for building a position in smaller increments. For this particular coin, the 1/10 oz format was chosen deliberately to mirror the original dime's denomination, giving the centennial issue an added layer of conceptual continuity with Weinman's 1916 design.
Every coin in this series was produced by the United States Mint to the exacting .9999 fine gold standard, with weight and purity controlled through the Mint's established production protocols at West Point. The SP70 grade assigned by PCGS confirms that this specific example exhibits no post-mint imperfections, placing it at the top of the Specimen grading scale. PCGS encapsulation provides physical protection alongside an independent verification of the coin's authenticity and condition.
We are an authorized dealer for PCGS, which means the graded coins we carry have passed through proper authentication and handling channels rather than arriving through unofficial secondary market sources without documentation. The PCGS holder includes a unique certification number that can be verified directly through the PCGS registry, allowing buyers to confirm the coin's grade, certification status, and population data independently.
This coin is graded SP70 by PCGS, which designates a perfect Specimen strike with no contact marks, hairlines, or blemishes of any kind visible under 5x magnification. SP70 is the highest grade achievable on the Specimen scale, and coins certified at this level represent the finest examples from any given production run. The Specimen designation itself reflects a coin struck with special care and attention to surface quality, typically using polished dies and specially prepared planchets.
The coin ships sealed within its PCGS plastic holder, which protects the coin from handling and environmental exposure while keeping it in display-ready condition. Because this is a certified numismatic product rather than raw bullion, the PCGS slab constitutes the definitive packaging. No additional protective flip or tube is applied around the certified holder. Buyers should store the slab in a climate-controlled environment away from direct sunlight and humidity to preserve both the holder and the coin's surfaces over time.
Pricing for the Gold Mercury Dime Centennial reflects the current spot price of gold as its baseline, adjusted for the 1/10 oz weight. Beyond the gold content, the premium on this coin is shaped by several factors that set it apart from standard fractional bullion: its one-time limited issuance, the SP70 PCGS certification, and its status as a recognized numismatic piece within a series that consistently attracts collector demand.
Certified top-pop examples in any numismatic series typically command a premium over their raw metal content, and this coin is no exception. Because PCGS SP70 coins represent a fixed population that cannot grow, their market behavior often diverges from standard bullion pricing as numismatic demand fluctuates independently of spot prices. Our pricing reflects real-time metal market conditions alongside the established numismatic premium for this specific grade and certification.
The Gold Mercury Dime Centennial trades within both the bullion market and the broader numismatic market, giving it two distinct resale channels. Buyers who hold this coin as a certified SP70 example have access to a collector audience that specifically values the grade, the series, and the PCGS certification, in addition to the standard gold bullion buyer base. This dual-market presence generally supports more active liquidity than a comparable uncertified coin of the same weight and purity.
We operate a two-way market, meaning customers can both purchase and sell precious metals within our platform. Understanding liquidity before a purchase is made, not just at the point of sale, is central to how we approach the buying and selling experience. For a recognized and graded product like this one, competitive buyback pricing reflects both current gold values and the numismatic characteristics that influence its market positioning.
Few American coin series command the same combination of artistic recognition and collector demand as Weinman's Mercury Dime. The 2016 gold centennial issue brings that legacy into a high-purity gold format that was produced for one year only, with no future reissues planned. An SP70 PCGS-certified example sits at the absolute top of the condition spectrum for this coin, representing the finest certified specimens available from a production run that is permanently closed.
For buyers who want exposure to fine gold in a format that carries genuine numismatic significance, this coin offers a compelling combination. The 1/10 oz size keeps the entry point manageable relative to full-ounce coins, while the PCGS certification provides independent verification of both authenticity and grade. The coin's design quality, its historical connection to one of the most celebrated U.S. coin designs of the 20th century, and its fixed population of top-graded examples all contribute to its distinct position within the gold coin market.
We have been operating in the precious metals space since 2010, and our approach has always centered on transparency, accurate pricing, and building long-term trust with our customers. As an authorized dealer for both PCGS and NGC, we carry certified numismatic products through proper channels, and every graded coin we offer can be verified independently through the grading service's registry. Our A rating with the Better Business Bureau and active memberships in the American Numismatic Association and the National Coin and Bullion Association reflect a commitment to professional standards that extends well beyond individual transactions.
Our pricing is structured around real-time market conditions rather than fixed retail markups, and our two-way market model means we are actively engaged on both the buy and sell side. Whether you are acquiring this coin for the first time or deciding when to liquidate it, we aim to provide consistent, competitive pricing informed by current wholesale market data. Our goal is to make the experience straightforward, transparent, and grounded in objective information from the moment you browse to the moment you sell.
Bullion Standard Pro gives members access to live, executable wholesale bid and ask pricing across a broad range of precious metals products, including numismatic and certified coins like this one. For a product where pricing reflects both gold content and a numismatic premium, having direct visibility into real-time wholesale market conditions helps buyers understand exactly what they are paying for and why. Pro members can also evaluate premiums, bid/ask spreads, and liquidity metrics using our proprietary research tools, allowing for a more objective assessment before committing to a purchase.
Portfolio valuation through Bullion Standard Pro uses live executable wholesale bid pricing rather than estimated retail values, providing a more realistic picture of what a holding like this is worth at any given moment in the wholesale market. For collectors and buyers who hold a combination of bullion and numismatic pieces, having that level of pricing clarity across the full portfolio is a meaningful advantage.
We support a wide range of payment methods to make purchasing as straightforward as possible. Accepted options include Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, PayPal, bank-connected payments through Plaid, wire transfer, paper check, and cryptocurrency payments through BitPay.
