Mercury Dimes, officially known as Winged Liberty Head dimes, were minted in the United States from 1916 to 1945. The 1942 Denver Mint issue has a distinctive "D" mint mark, indicating its production location. Struck from a mix of silver and copper, these dimes are collectible due to their artistic design by Adolph A. Weinman and their historical significance, especially during World War II. The condition and rarity of specific dates and mint marks significantly affect their value among collectors.
