ExoGuy Pillar of the Community United States 4421 Posts	Posted 07/30/2014 8:09 pm Do the math on this half roll (25 coins) of early dated Mercury dimes .... http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-Teens-Tw...em1c42fec98d Accordingly, the $3-$7 each price seems high. Common date coins are typically cheaper by the dozen, so to speak. Good luck! Report this Post to the Staff

If $3~$7 for a coin will cost less than the price of the coin+shipping on ebay, then I'd say it's a good deal for someone who lives in South Africa. Report this Post to the Staff

The Mercury dimes are not as old as the Morgan but it is about 1/10 of the silver content. I remember you bought a Morgan a while back ASEnut, best to base dime prices off that. 3-5 sounds a lot better than 3-7 thou Report this Post to the Staff

This is certainly true for the bullion guys who buy in bulk. However, One would be hard-pressed to buy say a $100 face bag of Mercuries for the same price as a $100 bag of the silver Roosies. I see the Mercuries, a very popular collector coin, constantly bringinging premium prices above melt. The reasons are two-fold: 1) The classic, obsolete design; and 2) the chance, slim as it is, of finding a key or more valuable coin in the mix. At local auctions, I've seen common Mercuries sell for unrealistic amounts due to these factors. Last year, a group of ten common dates was bid to $6, each! Crazy, but true!
