Collector Context
Designer Adolph A. WeinmanYears 1916–1945
Properly the "Winged Liberty Head Dime" - the wings on Liberty's cap symbolize freedom of thought, not the Roman god Mercury. Weinman also designed the Walking Liberty Half of the same era. The 1916-D is one of the most coveted key dates in 20th-century US numismatics with a mintage of just 264,000.
