【Button Works】Mercury Dime Coin Apollo Concho Pins BW-0201

"Special Pins Crafted from Genuine Vintage Coins"

Minted from 1916 to 1945, the Winged Liberty Head dime—universally known as the "Mercury Dime"—is widely celebrated as one of the most beautiful coin designs in American history. Masterfully sculpted by the renowned artist Adolph A. Weinman, the obverse of the coin features Lady Liberty adorned in a Phrygian cap, a historic symbol of freedom. Crucially, the wings on her cap were intentionally designed to symbolize freedom of thought. Repurposing this rich heritage into a special accessory, these premium pins carry both artistic beauty and authentic Americana history.

"Built to evolve. Made to last."

Meticulously crafted from vintage coins composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, each piece is hand-pressed into a distinct "Apollo-style" concho for a rich, dimensional look. We have finished these with a classic butterfly clutch, making them easy to attach to any denim jacket, hat, or bag. Beyond their immediate beauty, these pins are designed to evolve; as the silver interacts with the elements and your daily wear, it will develop a deep, personalized patina. It is a piece that doesn’t just last, but gets better with every passing year.
