1917 ushers in the second year of the Mercury dime; the first year where it wasn’t produced with the Barber dime. The winged crown that adorns Liberty’s head is representative of the concept of “Liberty of Thought”. Sad that just over a hundred years later, we are making free exchange of ideas taboo. At least this dime will remind those of us who remember liberty of thought, what it once was like. If you want to buy a 1917 Liberty Head Dime you are going to have to spend as little as $60 and as much as $350 for an uncirculated coin rated MS-63.
