Vintage Hand Cut Mercury Dime Pendant Necklace Sterling Silver

This is a stunning piece of vintage numismatic jewelry featuring a genuine United States Mercury Dime (90% silver) minted between 1916–1945. The pendant is a "pierced coin," meaning an artisan has meticulously hand-sawn the background away using a jeweler's saw, leaving the iconic "Winged Liberty" head in high relief. The level of detail remains sharp, showing the intricate feathers in the cap and the hair lines. The pendant hangs on a high-quality sterling silver chain featuring the "NV 925" maker's mark.

The silver has a light, natural patina that highlights the depth of the cut-work. The clasp is fully functional and secure. No bent edges or thinning in the delicate cut areas.
