Coinfrog Bedrock of the Community United States 94367 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 08:58 am Yes, a common well-worn Mercury dime from the Philadelphia mint, 90% silver in composition. to the CCF! Report this Post to the Staff
panzaldi Bedrock of the Community United States 18696 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 10:25 am as stated, this is a common Mercury. the coin has seen quite a bit of circulation. note the scratches around the date area. this may be considered PMD (post mint damage). the low grade and possible PMD would value this coin at a hair above melt Report this Post to the Staff

kbbpll Pillar of the Community United States 4233 Posts	Posted 02/05/2021 1:39 pm Melt value today is $1.95 for a Mercury dime. NGC is a good source for that and other info. https://www.NGCcoin.com/coin-explor...coinid-15044 It is 90% silver. "Mercury" is just a nickname for the coin, not the composition, because winged Liberty resembles the winged hat of the Roman god. Report this Post to the Staff

You might want to look at mintages per year and see what grades like PCGS and NGC advise for selling prices of their graded coins. While that might not be completely helpful if you have an ungraded one, it can help with relative value compared to other coins of the same type, despite grades. For instance there are several instances where earlier coins in that series are quite valuable despite being well worn. Just a starting point... Stay well, Diy89Nurm7 Report this Post to the Staff
