Mercury dimes are unique American coinage minted from 1916 to 1945. However, specimens from the 1942 set are complex, with a few specific errors worth collecting. Weinman created one of the most beautiful small American coins. These pieces are part of a series that production started in 1916 after Adolph A.
They were minted during WWII and had a unique composition adapted to the then-wartime conditions. In most cases, the 1942 dime value is more than these coins’ face value, but it always depends on their appearance and absence of damage.
