Mercury Dimes, officially known as Winged Liberty Head dimes, were produced by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. The design features a depiction of Liberty with a winged cap on the obverse and a fasces surrounded by an olive branch on the reverse. Coins minted in 1829 are not Mercury Dimes, as this year predates their production, reflecting a different era in U.S. coinage history. Collectors often seek Mercury Dimes for their artistic design, silver content, and historical significance, particularly the rarer dates and mintmarks.
