DesignThe 1942 dime, also known as the Winged Liberty Head "Mercury" dime, features a profile of Liberty wearing a winged Liberty cap. The reverse of the dime shows a fasces, a Roman symbol of law and government, surrounded by an olive branch representing peace. The artist's initials are on the obverse, and the mint mark is on the reverse. HistoryThe 1942 dime was designed by Adolph Weinman, and the design remained the same until 1945. The dime was named after the Roman god Mercury because people mistook Liberty for him shortly after the dime was released. Rare varietiesThe 1942 "2 Over 1" Mercury dime is a rare variety that was created when a die was first struck with a 1941 hub, then later with a 1942 hub. The 1942 over 41 and 1942 over 41-D Mercury Dime varieties are also rare. In January 2018, a full band Min State 66g graded specimen of the 1942 over 41 Mercury Dime sold for $120,000 at auction.
