In "The Silver Coinage of 1916 - An Artistic Renaissance," Thomas S. LaMarre mentions in referring to the new designs introduced in 1916, "the Winged Liberty Head dime was first to appear, entering circulation in the latter part of October 1916. The design of the dime, owing to the smallness of the coin, has been held quite simple, Mint Director F.J.H. von Engelken said. The obverse shows a head of Liberty with winged cap. The head is firm and simple in form; the profile forceful. The reverse shows a design of the bundle of rods, with battle-ax, known as Fasces, and symbolical of unity, wherein lies the Nation's strength. Surrounding the fasces is a full-foliaged branch of olive, symbolical of peace." (PCGS # 4906) . Estimated Value $4,000 - 4,500. Categories: Dimes
