United States 2026-D dime
To mark the 250th anniversary of American independence, the United States Mint struck circulating commemoratives in the denominations of dime (one design), quarter (five designs) and half dollar (one design). These were struck at Denver (shown here) and Philadelphia while the silver proofs were struck at San Francisco. To quote from the Mint's Facebook page, "The obverse design features a determined Liberty as the winds of revolution waft through her hair. With steadfast resolve, she faces the tyranny of the British monarchy. Her liberty cap bears stars and stripes, at once a symbol of our burgeoning Nation and a reference to early American coinage."
