Those are Mercury dimes and are 90% silver so the least they are worth is the bullion value.
The color is just from environmental toning, all silver tones if not protected.
There may be some in there worth more but hard to tell from those pictures.
Maybe one of our Mercury collectors can shed some more light on values.

Check ebay sold values and this link for values in whatever grade each dime is:http://m.numismedia.com/rarecoinprices.htm

Yes JimmyD, coinfrog, and john1 summed this up for you clear pictures of both sides would be great

With silver at about $19.66 an ounce, these dimes have about $1.42 worth of silver in them. Expect to get less than that if trying to sell them to a "we buy gold and silver" shop. As others have said, there might be a gem or two but need to have better pictures. You should handle them carefully so that you do not get finger oil on the surfaces or damage the surfaces more than they already may be, and, most importantly, do not use cleaners on them or try to polish them as that lowers or eliminates any premium numismatic value they might have.

These are common date Mercury dimes, my dealer is giving $1.60 (or was a few days ago) for each. You can touch them all you want, its not going to make a difference. They are only worth bullion. Like stated above the 16, 25-d and 45-S have a little more premium but not much. If the 1942 is an overdate (highly unlikely) its worth a large premium, check for a 1 by the 2, its really obvious on the 1942, a little harder on the 1942 D. If you see a 1 next to the 2, post pictures, otherwise we don't need better pictures. Multiply the coins you have by $1.60 that's how much its approximately worth.
