what is the value for an American 1909 silver dime
10 cents.
A US dime is worth one tenth of a US dollar. The numismatic value of a dime, on the other hand, depends on its date, mintmark, and condition (or grade). All US dimes, though, remain legal tender and, thus, are still worth 10 cents.
No such thing. There were no US dimes minted that year.
Most are only valued for the silver, about $2.00.
Worthless.

The value of a US dime marked "ten centavos" is zero, since it is a fake. A real US dime is marked "one dime," not "ten centavos."
