Who is the symbol of the U.S. ?? Have you ever seen the Statue of Liberty?? That tells you who the "lady" is.

The winged cap is a Liberty cap, symbolizing freedom (wings = you can go anywhere you want). Because a Liberty cap resembles the helmet worn by the god Mercury, these coins are almost always called "Mercury" dimes. The "W" on the front is not a mint mark, it's the monogram of the designer A. A. Weinmann. The mint mark, if there is one, is located on the back next to the word ONE.

The bundle and ax on the back is a "fasces", a symbol of authority in Roman times,

In any case 1942 is a common date for this coin; your dime is worth about $1.00 to $1.50 depending on wear.
