The 1939 Mercury Dime is a ten-cent coin struck by the U.S. Mint, a piece of American history.
Named for its Winged Liberty Head design, it's often mistaken for the Roman god Mercury.
Minted in Philadelphia, Denver, and San Francisco, mint marks can affect its value.
With 90% silver content, its base value is tied to current silver prices.
Uncirculated dimes or those with Full Bands details command higher prices.
Condition is key; grades vary from Good to Mint State, influencing worth.
Rare errors, like doubled die or off-center strikes, can make a dime more valuable.
Protect your dime from wear; use coin holders or albums for preservation.
Consult a coin expert or use a grading service to accurately assess your dime's value.
