Mercury Dimes are a series of ten-cent coins that were minted by the United States from 1916 to 1945. The design, created by artist Adolph A. Weinman, features a depiction of Liberty with a winged cap on the obverse and a fasces with an olive branch on the reverse. The 1938 Mercury Dime, minted in Philadelphia, is particularly notable as it falls within a timeframe that includes both common and rare dates in the series. Collectors often seek out specific years and mint marks for their rarity and condition, making Mercury Dimes a popular choice among numismatists.
