Production of the Mercury Dimes began in June 1916 using a design created by Adolph Alexander Weinman. Still being worth the initial ten-cents, these dimes were minted between 1916 and 1945, although the 1916 D’s were minted in a significant limited quantity versus the dimes created thereafter. The contents of these dimes were 10 percent copper and 90 percent silver.
The new design on the front of the coin featured Lady Liberty with a winged cap on her head, facing to the left. LIBERTY is printed above her head, and IN GOD WE TRUST with the year printed below. Immediately the public believed the visage was not of Lady Liberty, but rather of the Roman God, Mercury. Mercury is the “God of Trades” and wore winged shoes and a winged hat. Although the public was informed of the correct image on the coin, the title “Mercury Dime” was still attached.
An interesting fact, Adolph Alexander Weinman owned an apartment in which the poet Wallace Stevens and his wife Elsie Kachel Stevens were his tenants. Weinman created a bust of Elsie in 1913 wearing a cap on her head which included wings, a widely known symbol of liberty. Although never confirmed, the majority believe that this bust of Elsie is what Weinman used as the face of Lady Liberty in designing the Mercury Dime.
The back side of the coin is a bundle of rods tied with an axe, also known as the Roman Fasces which symbolized authority. The UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and E PLURIBUS UNUM (Latin for “One out of many”)are both inscribed on the right side of the fasces.
