The US Mercury Dime - collectable coins for beginners - part 13

US coins from the early 20th century are some of the most beautiful coins you can collect, but many are still economically priced to add to your collection. The most notable designs were of the allegorical Lady Liberty, a beautiful young woman in various headpieces. She appeared in many US coins starting from the very first coins in 1793 until she was replaced by US Presidential portraits in the later 20 century. The headpiece on today's coin is a winged helmet, signifying freedom of thought, but because she looks somewhat like the Roman god Mercury, everyone calls them Mercury dimes, rather than the official "Winged Liberty Dime".

I am from Canada, live in Japan, and collect coins from everywhere.

Sorry, at this time, the coins I am showing are not for sale but I hope to acquire some duplicates to sell or maybe even give away in the future.

Erratum(aka goof-ups): None that I have spotted so far.
