The Winged Liberty Head (aka "Mercury") Dime was minted from 1916 through 1921, 1923 through 1931, and 1934 through 1945 at the Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco Mints, with the following four exceptions: there was no 1921-S, 1923-D, 1930-S, or 1934-S varieties minted.
The mint mark location for all Mercury dimes is on the back, next to the E in the word ONE. Philadelphia coins did not carry mint marks at that time. Denver and San Francisco coins will carry a D or S, respectively.
