Description:

The Mercury Dime is one of the most recognizable coin designs in American history. Officially known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, the coin features Liberty wearing a winged cap to represent freedom of thought.

Because the portrait resembled Mercury, the Roman messenger god, the public began calling it the Mercury Dime. The nickname became more widely used than the coin’s official name.

Struck from 1916 to 1945, these dimes contain 90% silver. Coins in this listing are offered in Average Circulated condition, so wear, marks, and differences in design detail should be expected.
