Mercury dime history
The mercury dime was initially named the Winged Liberty Head Dime but got its nickname as Liberty looks like the Greek God Mercury due to the winged hat shes wearing.
This coin was minted between 1916 and 1945 and has become one of the nation’s best-loved coins. Although not rare, the coins are of great interest to collectors worldwide.
The coin's design was created by sculptor Adolph A. Weinman and was minted during a colorful time in American history. This coin saw two world wars, as well as the Great Depression. During these years, there was much hoarding of silver coins and a rise in coin collection interest amongst the general public.
In XF condition, the cheapest and less sought-after dates have been valued at $5. Others are as high as $7-$9 or much more for proofs and uncirculated versions of the coin. The 1942 Denver-minted overdate and doubled die can sell for around $324. While a 1926 San Francisco minted coin recently sold for $6,250 at MS65FB grade.
