Private novelty companies place these marks on ordinary coins and sell them as "valuable collectibles." When the buyers try to get the implied profit after a few years, they find that a coin dealer will give them only a fraction of what they paid (if they will even buy them) and the coins get spent. If you have one I haven't seen, I would probably pay a dollar for it. (Sorry, I already have that one.)

∙ 14y agoIt's a novelty item made by a private company that stamped the images onto a normal cent. You can buy them with images of JFK, birthday presents, state outlines, etc. Because they're altered coins they have no interest to coin collectors but there are some niche hobbyists who do collect them as curiosities.

What are mercury and barber dimes?
A Mercury Dime has really been given the wrong name because the image on the obverse [heads] side of the coin is not that of the Roman god Mercury but that of Lady Liberty wearing a phrygian cap which is a symbol of liberty and freedom, with wings intended to symbolize freedom of thought. Correctly called the Winged Liberty Head dime, designed by Adolph A. Weinman, it was minted from 1916 to 1945. The Barber Dime, or sometimes called the Liberty Head Type dime bears the image of lady Liberty wearing a phrygian cap, a laurel wreath with a ribbon and a headband with the word "LIBERTY" inscribed on the obverse [heads] side of the coin. Designed by Charles E. Barber it was minted from 1892 until 1916.
