Facts
Despite its name, the figure on the obverse is not the Roman god Mercury but Lady Liberty wearing a winged cap. The design was controversial at first, with some mistaking the figure for Mercury. This iconic design is highly sought after by collectors for its beauty and historical significance, representing a period of transition in American coinage.
Value Fact
The value of this 1941-D Mercury dime depends heavily on its condition and grade. Circulated examples can be found affordably, typically ranging from a few dollars to around $10-$15 for higher grades.
