Mercury Dimes, officially known as Winged Liberty Head Dimes, were minted in the United States from 1916 to 1945. The design, created by Adolph A. Weinman, features a depiction of Liberty in a winged cap on the obverse and a fascio of rods with an olive branch on the reverse. The 1916 Mercury Dime is particularly significant as it marks the first year of minting, and its rarity makes it highly sought after by collectors. Due to their historical importance and aesthetic appeal, Mercury Dimes represent an important subset of 20th-century American numismatics.
