Mercury Dimes, officially known as Winged Liberty Head Dimes, were minted in the United States from 1916 to 1945. The 1936 Mercury Dime features the obverse design of a young Liberty wearing a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought, while the reverse depicts an olive branch and a fasces, representing peace and strength, respectively. These dimes are composed of 90% silver and are considered popular among collectors for their design and silver content. The 1936 issue is relatively common in circulated condition, but higher-grade examples can command premium prices.
