Mercury Dimes are 10-cent coins produced by the United States Mint from 1916 to 1945. The 1938 Mercury Dime minted in San Francisco is particularly collectible due to its lower mintage compared to other years. This coin features a depiction of Liberty wearing a winged cap on the obverse and an olive branch and fasces on the reverse. Its silver composition and historical significance contribute to its desirability among collectors.
