The Mercury Dime is a ten-cent coin that was struck by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. It features a depiction of Liberty wearing a winged cap, which is often mistakenly referred to as Mercury. The coin was designed by Adolph A. Weinman and is notable for its artistic design and historical significance. The 1916 Philadelphia Mercury Dime is particularly sought after by collectors due to its low mintage and the transition from the Barber Dime to the Mercury design. Collectors often seek these coins for their numismatic value and historical context.
