The Mercury Dime is a ten-cent coin minted by the United States from 1916 to 1945. The coin features a depiction of the Roman goddess Liberty wearing a winged cap, designed by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman. The 1923 Mercury Dime was minted in Philadelphia, where no mint mark was placed on the coin. Collectors value this coin for its design, historical significance, and silver content, as it is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. The condition and rarity of specific years, like 1923, significantly influence its market value.
