<p>[QUOTE="V. Kurt Bellman, post: 2371346, member: 71723"]Coin World has reported that the soon to be released Centennial Mercury/Winged Liberty dime will NOT BE THE DIAMETER OF ITS DESIGN INSPIRATION. Coin World has stated the diameter at 16.5mm, the exact size of the current 1/10 ounce Gold Eagle, and NOT the diameter of the original Mercury/Winged Liberty Dime, which is 17.9mm. So don't rush out and place an order thinking you're getting a gold dime, in the same way the 2014 gold Kennedy was a true sized half dollar. What you'll be getting is a 1/10 ounce, 1/4 ounce, or 1/2 ounce bullion coin with a design "stolen" from classic coins. All will be smaller than implied. In recent months, the Mint has cleverly stopped saying "same" diameter in favor of "similar" diameter.</p><p><br /></p><p>To me, it is or it ain't.
