The 1940 San Francisco Mercury Dime, identified by its "S" mintmark, is a highly sought-after collectible coin in the United States. Struck by the U.S. Mint, it features the iconic design by Adolph A. Weinman, depicting a stylized Liberty with wings. Mercury Dimes, minted between 1916 and 1945, are composed of 90% silver and have a face value of 10 cents. The 1940 issue is not especially rare, but its condition, grading, and market demand can greatly influence its collectible value.
