The 1930 Mercury Dime was struck at the Philadelphia Mint with a recorded mintage of 6,770,000 coins — the 18th-lowest of the 77 circulation-strike issues in the mercury dime series, and 79% of the 8,613,000 mercury dimes the Mint produced across all facilities in 1930.
The Depression bites - and after 1931 the series skips two more years entirely.
