1918 saw the US Mint produced 68,000,000 Mercury Dimes. This is the second most dimes produced to this point. Only surpassed by the previous year’s astonishing 91+ million dimes. This doesn’t last long though, in four years the mint won’t produce a single dime.This gives collectors a decent chance to find a coin in MS-63 condition or better at a price that many of us can afford.
