There was a Mercury dime made in 1916 and it is very valuable. The one with the liberty head is less valuable but still in the $5 range on average.
There is 2.25 grams of silver in a 1960 dime.
There is no silver in a 1990 US dime.
There are 2.25 grams of silver in a 1935 silver dime. It is made of 90% silver and 10% copper.
they made 2 million 1916 d dimes oh and that dime is called a mercury dime ONLY 264,000 1916-D Mercury Dimes were struck.
Nothing. There is no such thing. The most silver any dime has is 90%. This is most likely what you have.
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.
The 1916-D Mercury dime is 1.35mm thick and has a diameter of 17.9mm.
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 difference (and the value) is where they were made. S= San Francisco, D= Denver.
A Mercury dime, minted from 1916 to 1945, has a diameter of 17.9 mm and weighs 2.5 grams.
The first MERCURY dime was struck in 1916
You've got to be very specific. First off, there are no Mercury Head quarters. There are however Mercury dimes produced during 1916, along with Barber dimes produced during 1916. If you have a Barber dime dated 1916 it is worth a few bucks for silver depending on the condition. On the other hand, if you have a Mecury dime with a 1916 and a D mintmark on the reverse, you have a coin worth several hundred to several thousands of dollars depending on condition. If you have just a 1916 dime with no, or another mintmark, it is only worth a few bucks for silver. There are also quarters produced in 1916. Like the dime there were 2 designs that year, the more common Barber quarter worth about $7 in scrap depending on the condition, and the key-dated 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter worth several hundred dollars depending on condition. So without knowing what your coin is, it is impossible to say how much it is worth.
