Yeah,yeah,I know,10 cents. But,I have a bunch of rolls of Mercury dimes and ain't got the slightest idea what they might be worth. Could use some informed input. Thanks!

Looks like they start at $2.79 (silver value) and go up from there. Mercury Dime Values are Moderate to High

That's a useful link for everything from "scrap" value to collector potential! See here: Silver Coin Melt Values - Coinflation.com (Updated Daily), for "scrap" values on most U.S. silver coins and Canadian coins also.

There are some date / mintmark combinations in this series that are VERY valuable in the numismatic world.

Example: the 1916-D Merc, even in a low, circulated grade is worth upwards of $800. (By that "grade" I mean more well-worn and beat up than you might imagine. The 1916-D is such a low mintage that they have even been counterfeited.)

You would be well-served to research these yourself or find a reputable and credentialed dealer in your area to assess them.

mercury dimes...................

the rare ones 1916-D and 1942/1 (2 over 1 date) - Overdate type for both 1942 and 1942-D, mintages are unknown but the type is extremely rare.

the scarce ones........

•1921
•1921-D
•1926-S
•1931-S
•1931-S

Tom let me look in my crystal ball. Wait a minute yes I can see very clear now. I see several S&W's in your future. Some may only cost you only a dime. Please PM me to make arrangements for the small fee I charge. Don

Bullzaye gave the link. If you look at the Coinflation melt value, drop 2-3 tenths off and that's what you can probably sell to a coin/pawn/jewelry shop for, if they aren't thieves. The more you have to sell, the better deal you can get.

Without numismatic value (i.e. the "collector" coins), they are what is referred to as "junk" silver coins, worth only the melt value, and that is based on weight. They are 90% silver, so you can look at 90% of spot silver price less profit for the buyer and the ultimate buyer. (Coinflation derives their melt value in this way).

If they are in good condition, you can try selling them yourself for full melt value, or slightly discounted, at a flea market, etc.

Me, I'd keep them. Might become one of the few acceptable coins in the future.

Oh, and they aren't "Mercury" dimes. They are "Winged Liberty" dimes.

I have one in my tool box, along with a $2 bill and, if I recall correctly, an Eisenhower silver dollar. Other coins, too. (I even have a 1972 George McGovern campaign button in there, but puh-leeze, don't tell anyone about my shameful and misbegotten youth!)

Humph, I'm tellin'!

Thank you to all. Info is much appreciated.

One more data source - has specific year and mint mark information. Went through my dimes, but unfortunately didn't have any of the "good ones". Had a couple '34 S Peace dollars, though.

Mercury Dimes - US Coin Prices and Values

I collect coins and guns and so let me say that if the coins are common dates and have lots of wear selling them for at the silver bullion price might be the best method. However, if their are any key dates in the rolls then one even in fine or extra fine condition can be worth well above the bullion price.
