Mercury Dimes, officially known as Winged Liberty Head Dimes, were minted in the United States from 1916 to 1945. The 1942 Philadelphia Mint issue is one of the common dates, featuring the obverse image of Liberty wearing a winged cap. These dimes are composed of 90% silver and are popular among collectors due to their design and historical significance. The Philadelphia coins can be identified by the absence of a mint mark. The value of a 1942 Mercury Dime fluctuates based on its condition and silver content.
