Mercury Dimes, officially known as Winged Liberty Head Dimes, were minted from 1916 to 1945. The 1926 San Francisco Mint variety is particularly sought after by collectors due to its lower mintage compared to other years. These coins feature the allegorical figure of Liberty wearing a winged cap on the obverse and a laurel and oak wreath with a fasces on the reverse. The 10-cent denomination is composed of 90% silver, making it attractive for both numismatic and intrinsic silver value.
