Can mercury dimes be worth anything?

Absolutely! When I was a teenager, I would sell some dupes at the LCS to get better coins. When I saw the owner toss them into a "melt bucket", I was horrified! I bought them back like I was rescuing lambs from the slaughterhouse.

 

Hello Trella,
Yes, any silver coin has value.
Some with rare dates, more than others.

Common date with lots of wear and tear.Yes mercury dimes are %90 silver and in that condition melt or mabey a bit more,within the $2-$3 range.

 

At a flea market they go about $3-5 these days
Nostalgia I guess

 

If that 1941 S you posted was a
1916 D it would be worth at least
$1500.

 

Worth about $2.00.

 

I've been seeing common circulated Mercs go for about $3.00 lately

 

You’ve got to be joking. Only about $2 of silver in them so that’s what they’re priced around here, maybe a quarter more.

 

They should actually be called.. Winged Liberty Head Dimes.

1941 S Value?..


Yours is not MS - Mint State

 

I'm not. Demand has driven prices above melt at the shows I've been to lately.

 

Can you state what values you have seen?
Don't sleazy coin show sellers jack up prices?

 

Unbelievable

 

mercury and roosevelt dimes have about $1.88 melt value of silver with the price of it now

 

Just get yourself a Red Book...a guide...or go online to one of the many price-guides and take a look.

I have set my goal to complete a collection of all of the Winged Liberty Silver Dime. I but what ever quality one of the dimes are just to fill a hole and when I find a better one, I replace the old one. I just finished filling the holes of the silver FDR Dimes. They were priced between $4 - $10. Some charge a lot for shipping, raising the total cost for some coins to about $15.

To answer your question, my opinion is YES, they are worth much more than face value or silver melt. The beauty and history of that dime is priceless. I guess you can tell I'm a fan of the design. LOL Brings back a lot of memories as they were common when I was growing up. I keep everyone I can.
