mnknight77 Valued Member United States 87 Posts	Posted 03/20/2017 02:48 am Hi and Welcome! You asked if they are worth more than face value and the answer is YES. You said that there were hundreds of Mercury dimes and the like. The Mercury dimes are silver... do not sell at face value! For example, the Mercury dime is worth 1.26 for each one. The Roosevelt dime is worth 1.26 each for dates up through 1964. Since he worked in the 50's and 60's, he will have many of those dates. The silver nickels are 1942-1945 and each of those are worth about a 1.00. Yes, some of the dates that have been mentioned will go for even more in good condition but the regular everyday 90% silver ones will go for far more than their face value. So, if you have 100 Mercury dimes, the melt value or silver value would be 126.00. Hope that helps... Edited by mnknight77 03/20/2017 02:57 am Report this Post to the Staff
Coinology New Member United States 21 Posts	Posted 03/20/2017 1:47 pm Once again, thank you all for the advice and great information concerning the coins. I might make time to sort these out and possibly share with you all the findings. On a side note to this story; he had over 1,000 sleeves of stamps from around the world as well as coins and medals. It is funny how some stamps he had un-hinged from the 30's and 40's are only worth a dollar or two. I am glad he enjoyed his hobbies as I know I do. Report this Post to the Staff

Stamps really tanked over the years for whatever reason? I rarely see or hear anything about them anymore. I have a old collection, but I haven't looked at it in years.

And don't forget to watch carefully for the 1945 Mercury dime with full bands on the reverse. Could be worth hundreds to thousands. Report this Post to the Staff
