Offered here is a 1942 Mercury (Winged Liberty Head) dime struck at the Philadelphia Mint (no mint mark). Struck in the first full year of America's involvement in World War II, this is a bright, silvery example of one of the most popular U.S. silver coin designs. 90% silver.
Grade: About Uncirculated (AU). Liberty's hairline is complete and the wing feathers are clear and well detailed. Only light wear shows on the highest points (the cheek and the hair above the forehead, and the center bands of the fasces), and mint luster remains in the fields.
Condition, please read: both sides show fine hairlines and light scratches in the fields, most noticeable in the left obverse field in front of Liberty's face and across the reverse field around E PLURIBUS UNUM, with a few small marks on the cheek and neck. No rim damage, holes or bends seen. Please view all the photos, which are the best description.
