One way is to compare it to a picture of a Mercury dime. Another way is to simply check the date on it. If it's dated anywhere from 1916 to 1945, it's a Mercury.

A 1943 dime made of mercury is not rare. It is actually an error coin as dimes were made of silver that year. An authentic 1943 mercury dime would be valuable due to the mistake in using the wrong metal. You should consult with a professional coin collector or numismatist to authenticate the coin's rarity and value.
