The Mercury Dime, officially known as the Winged Liberty Head Dime, was minted by the United States from 1916 to 1945. The coin features a depiction of Liberty wearing a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought. The 1928 Mercury Dime, produced at the Philadelphia Mint, is particularly notable among collectors due to its lower mintage of just over 2 million coins, making it a sought-after date in the series. It is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, making it both a numismatic and precious metal collectible.
