<p>[QUOTE="Taylor101, post: 1226144, member: 29758"]The Mercury Dime was issued from 1916 to 1945. Although, it was called a Mercury Dime, the obverse did not show the Roman God Mercury. The more persise title would be "Winged Liberty head Dime". The obverse dipicts a Portrait of Lady Liberty. Liberty is wearing a Phrygian Cap. This cap represents America's Liberty and Freedom of thought. The reverse design was intended to show America's Preparation for War. T is of a faces and olive branch. The deisgner of both the obverse and the reverse was Aldolph Weinman. Aldolph Weinman was born on December 11, 1870. He arrived in The United States at the age of 10. He took classes at the Copper Union , and he opened his own studio in 1904. He was a member of NSS, and was preident of NSS from 1927 to 1930. E is known for designing the Walkin Liberty Half Dollar and the America Silver Eagle, and the Mercury Dime. He never revieled the name of the model for the Mercury Dime. But most suspect it was Elsie Stevens. He died on Auguest 8, 1952.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
