Dime values FAQ
Which dimes are silver?
All US dimes dated 1964 and earlier are 90% silver — Barber, Mercury and early Roosevelt designs. From 1965 on, circulation dimes are copper-nickel clad and worth face value unless they carry an error.
What is a Mercury dime worth?
Common dates in circulated condition are worth at least their silver, about $3.90 at October 2026 prices. A 1940 graded MS-64 sold for $85 at Stack's Bowers in March 2026, better dates climb from there, and the 1916-D key date brings $1,500 or more in Good.
How can I check my dime's value quickly?
Check the date first — pre-1965 means silver. Then photograph the coin in the Coin Value Checker app to confirm the exact variety and see a condition-based estimate.
