The value of 1903 Mercury Nickels

The Liberty Head or Mercury dime is a United States ten-cent coin which was struck from 1916 through 1945, the year following the death of the coin's designer, Adolph A. Weinman. The obverse features a portrait of Liberty wearing a Phrygian cap, while the reverse depicts a fasces, an axe inside a bundle of rods.

Mercury Nickels are popular because of the low mintages and the striking design that features the winged goddess of Liberty on the front and a Roman fasces on the reverse.

Mercury dimes are generally worth more than 10 cents:

- circulated Mercury dime = $1 - $2

- high grade Mercury dimes = $20 - $200

- rarest Mercury dimes = $8,000+
