Nice Merc!

Are you aware that what we call the Mercury dime isn't Mercury at all?

Sweet coin! Looks like it's in pretty good condition. Unfortunately most of the 1940s Mercury dimes aren't worth more than a few bucks, especially dug. Worth far more as a great memory than a coin dealer could possibly offer.
