Pendant Mercury Dime 1945

The Mercury Dime was made from 1916-1945 and designed by Adolph Weiman. It is often referred to as the Winged Liberty Head dime. It gained its name because of the young Liberty identified by her winged cap, but some mistook it for the Roman god, Mercury. Hense, it was later called the Mercury dime. The opposite side of the coin has a fasces which is a symbol for Unity and Strenght and an olive branch for Peace.

The coin has been set in Alchemia to create a pendant.  Alchemia is a solid metal that will not tarnish or change color. It is Hypoallergenic. I have placed the pendant on an Alchemia neckring, but it would be nice on silver,too.  The neckrings are sold separately on the website, asian-jewelry.com. for $30.  Dime is $60.
