These coins are very often called "Mercury head" dimes because the winged cap worn by Lady Liberty resembles that worn by the god Mercury. In lower grades their value is determined mostly by the fact that they were made from 90% silver. Their melt value is about 0.07 times the current price of silver; a dealer will pay less.
If the coin is in better shape, look on the to see if there's a small mint mark letter next to the E in ONE. It may be blank or there may be a D or S. (The W on the front of the coin is the designer's monogram and not a mint mark.)
Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 03/2013:
