Look at the date again, the first Mercury Head dime was made in 1916. Post new question.
You can see a photo of a 1936 Winged Liberty Head Dime (also known as a Mercury Dime) here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Mercury_dime.jpg Mercury Dimes were produced from 1916 through 1945 - a 1944 would differ from this photo only in the date and, possibly, the mintmark (the little "D" on the bottom back of the coin, just to the left of the bunch of sticks - the "D" means the coin was minted in Denver, an "S" would mean San Francisco, and no mintmark at all means that the coin was produced in Philadelphia).
All dimes minted from 1916 through 1945 are the same and are called Mercury Dimes, or also called Winged Liberty Head dimes. I have added a link to a picture of a 1936 dime. The 1935 would look the same expect for the date

The overstamp looks like there is a 1 in front of the 2 in "1942" and is quite noticeable.However, there is a variety of the 1942-D Mercury dime that is a 2 over 1 also which is less noticeable, for this the best indicator is to look at the "4" it will have what looks like a second tail under it and the "2" will look to have dot right under the far left base.
Please look at the coin again, The series of Mercury dimes ended in 1945.
For the 1918 Mercury dime, in average condition values are $3.00-$7.00. Look at the date on the other coin again, no dimes were struck in 1932.
