Mint Roosevelt
1913 S Barber Dime
In 1915, US Mint Director Robert W. Woolley supplied the opportunity to a few noted sculptors, Adolph A Weinman, Albin Polasek and Herman A. MacNeil to organize designs for three silver coins. Outdoors artists, not chief engraver Charles Barber, equipped designs for the earlier six changes and Woolley felt this was a great option. By 1916, Barber was 75 years outdated but had a observe record of being hostile to outdoors artists designing cash he thought he must be designing. With three new designs, all replacing cash Barber himself had designed, it may have gotten unpleasant. The information recommend Barber was on his greatest behavior. On this case it seems he simply stepped apart and let his assistant George T. Morgan, who had designed the Morgan dollar, do all of the work. Perhaps Barber finally just gave up or was too old too fight anymore or just acknowledged the sweetness in the designs. Barber died in February 1917 and was replaced by Morgan.
It is assumed that Woolley meant to award a different coin to each person. It may not have been deliberate this way, however Weinman ended up getting [two] of his designs because the successful designs. One being what would become known as the Walking Liberty Half and the Mercury Dime. MacNeil received the design for the quarter with Polasek getting shut out.Adolph A. Weinman was born in Germany and got here to the US at the age of 10 in 1880. He was a student of well known sculptor Augustus Saint-Gaudens. Saint-Gaudens is also credited with some truly excellent coin designs. By 1915 when the design course of started, Weinman was extensively celebrated as one of many nation’s best sculptors.
The design of the Mercury dime is that of a “Winged Liberty” and relies on a bust that Weinman did in 1913 of Elsie Kachel Stevens, spouse of well-recognized poet Wallace Stevens, who occurred to be tenants of a New York Metropolis house constructing owned by Weinman. The winged cap was to symbolize freedom of thought. The reverse of the coin depicts the fasces, an historic image of authority, with a battle-ax at the top to signify preparedness and an olive branch beside it to suggest love and peace and authority. Production and release of the brand new dimes was delayed till later within the yr of 1916 as the dies were not fairly ready. The Philadelphia and San Francisco mint produced Barber dimes much of 1916 to fulfill demand while Denver ceased producing Barber dimes in 1914. As soon as the dies were full, manufacturing began with each Philadelphia and San Francisco cranking out thousands and thousands of dimes. Denver although produced a mere 264,000 making the 1916-D an instant rarity.
Shortly after the dime started circulating, many people began calling it a “Mercury dime” as a result of wings on the cap. Mercury is the Roman god of commerce, property and wealth in addition to messenger to the other gods. The hat, referred to as a Petasus, is much like that worn my messengers throughout the time when Mercury was worshipped. Mercury gained his speed from his wings. Though not the original and intended title for the new time, the term Mercury caught and that’s what it is known as today. The Mercury dime served Americans by means of [two] world wars ending its run in 1945. With the demise of Franklin Delano Roosevelt in 1945, there was a strong motion to honor the president and in 1946 the Roosevelt dime started production and remains to be used today.
