Additional Description: The 1944 U.S. silver dime is part of the Mercury dime series, formally known as the Winged Liberty Head, designed by Adolph A. Weinman and first issued in 1916. Struck in 90% silver, the 1944 issue was produced during the final years of World War II, a time when American coinage played a quiet but constant role in the daily lives of those on the home front and abroad. The design, often mistaken for the Roman god Mercury, actually depicts Liberty with a winged cap, symbolizing freedom of thought.
