1941–1943 Mercury (Winged Liberty) Dimes, 90% Silver, Lot of 9

Nine 90% silver Mercury dimes from the early 1940s — the kind of lot a silver stacker or a type collector is happy to find in one place. All obverses show clearly readable dates; eight read 1941 and one reads 1943. The reverse photo shows the fasces-and-olive-branch design on all nine coins; mint marks on Mercury dimes appear on the reverse left of the fasces and are not clearly legible at this zoom — verify in hand before assuming Philadelphia. Circulated, with moderate wear across the group; most show honest detail on the hair and wing, a few are a touch flatter. No obvious damage or cleaning noted. Details: - Series: Mercury (Winged Liberty) Dime - Dates: 1941 (×8), 1943 (×1) - Mint marks: not confirmed from photos — verify in hand - Denomination: 10¢ × 9 - Silver content: 90% silver, 0.0723 troy oz pure silver each - Quantity: 9 coins - Condition: circulated, Very Good to Fine range across the group The "Mercury" dime isn't actually Mercury at all — designer Adolph Weinman modeled the winged cap on the Roman goddess Liberty, but the resemblance to Mercury stuck and the name never left.
