Yes - the "Mercury" dime from 1916 to 1945 has 90% silver in it
All Mercury dimes are 90% silver and 10% copper. They were struck from 1916 to 1945.
It depends on if the coin is a Barber or Mercury Head dime both are dated 1916 also if it has any mintmarks and the condition of the coin. Post new question.
those are mercury dimes. They were minted between 1916-1945.
You have a Barber dime; Mercury dimes started in 1916. The value depends on its grade & mint mark, but it's worth at least $4.00 just for the silver.
Yes there are fewer than 10 error coins known of the buffalo nickel struck on a silver mercury dime planchet...one of them is a 1918...
The 1916-D Mercury dime is 1.35mm thick and has a diameter of 17.9mm.
The Mercury Dime was composed of 90% Silver and 10% copper. It has a weight of 2 1/2 grams and a diameter of 17.9 mm.
Solid silver dimes, specifically the Mercury dimes and the Barber dimes, were minted from 1916 to 1945 and contain 90% silver. The Roosevelt dime, introduced in 1946, also contained 90% silver until 1964. Therefore, the solid silver dimes are from 1916 to 1964, with the majority being produced before 1946.
The difference (and the value) is where they were made. S= San Francisco, D= Denver.
