"Mercury dime" earrings enjoyed a vogue of popularity in the 80s -- the idea was to cut out the silver around the figure of the Liberty head and leave the outer rim intact, and attach a hook to that. They looked good until you turned them around and saw the fasces on the back. Hobby-crafty type home jeweler types used up a lot of worn-down dimes on this type of thing.
Funny, though, I never saw any cutout FDR-head earrings.
