Mercury Dimes are a series of ten-cent coins minted in the United States from 1916 to 1945, featuring a design by Adolph A. Weinman. The 1945 Mercury Dime, struck at the Philadelphia Mint, is made of 90% silver and 10% copper, and it is known for its depiction of Liberty wearing a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought. Collectors value these coins not only for their silver content but also for their artistic design and historical significance, especially as they mark the final year of production for the Mercury series.
