The Mercury Dime, officially known as the Winged Liberty Head dime, was produced by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. The 1942 Mercury Dime, made of 90% silver and 10% copper, features the profile of Liberty wearing a winged cap on the obverse and an olive branch with a fasces on the reverse. Collectors highly value Mercury Dimes, especially those in uncirculated condition or with rare mint marks, due to their historical significance and silver content. The 1942 issue is particularly notable for its representation of early 20th-century American coinage.
