(update 8/19/2013) Designed by Adolph Alexander Weinman (December 11, 1870 – August 8, 1952) an American sculptor born in Germany. Although Weinman is now best known as a numismatist, when he was once introduced as such he vehemently denied being one and said that he was an architectural sculptor. Despite his objections he is still best remembered as the designer of the Walking Liberty half dollar and Mercury dime along with various medals for the Armed Services. Although this coin is commonly referred to as the Mercury Dime, the main device is in fact a representation of Liberty. The wings crowning her cap are intended to symbolize freedom of thought. Mr. Weinman’s initials AW are found to the right of the neck. This beautiful sculpture would be a perfect gift for that favorite numismatist in your life, even if that happens to be you.
(update 8/19/2013) This type quarter was designed by Hermon Atkins MacNeil (1866-1947). The left arm of Liberty is upraised uncovering a shield in the attitude of protection and her right hand bears the olive branch of peace. MacNeil’s initial “M” is located above and to the right of the date. There was a modification in 1917, the second year of issue because of the public outcry over Liberty’s exposed breast as issued in 1916. The revised reverse was re-arranged to place the stars and eagle higher. In 1925 another modification was made, when a depression to the pedestal was included to protect the date. On earlier versions, the date was at the high point of the coin, making it the first part of the coin to wear off in circulation. The new recessed dates proved to be more durable as a result of this change. This beautiful Lucite sculpture would make a great gift for that favorite numismatist in your life, even if that happens to be you.
