Mercury Dime — Winged Liberty, not Mercury

1916–1945 Mercury Dime

Adolph A. Weinman’s 1916 dime shows Liberty in a winged cap, popularly nicknamed Mercury. Full split bands (FB) on the reverse fasces are a major grading premium. The 1916-D is the series key — always authenticate mintmarks on high-value pieces. 📷 Wikimedia Commons · Mercury dime (public domain / free license) — Historical education · Dent Historian · Not a price guide or appraisal.
