Mercury Dimes are a series of 10-cent coins issued by the United States from 1916 to 1945, designed by Adolph A. Weinman. The obverse features a depiction of Liberty wearing a winged cap, often mistakenly referred to as "Mercury," while the reverse displays an olive branch and a fasces. The 1945 Mercury Dime is notable as it marks the last year of the series, and it is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper. Collectors value these coins for their historical significance, design, and silver content, with specific attention given to the condition and mint mark of individual coins.
