About Collectible US Mercury Dimes

Also known as the Winged Liberty Head, this dime depicts the head of Lady Liberty wearing a winged cap, supposedly representing freedom of thought. It became known as the Mercury dime because of its likeness to the Roman god Mercury. Designed by Adolph Weinman (the same man who designed the Walking Liberty half dollar coins), they were struck from 1916 until 1945. The reverse depicted an ancient Roman fasces, a symbol of authority and an olive branch, a symbol of peace.

The Mercury dime design received positive acclaim and remained in use until 1946, when it was replaced by the Roosevelt dime. Mercury dimes are relatively easy to find; however, examples in which all of the bands on the fasces are completely struck and clearly separated are the most sought-after.
