This is currently in Auction on ebay and it grabbed my attention since I don't have many Mercury dimes and am looking to start filling out the Set! Current high bid is $66.17 with 9 days to go. I don't want to end up overpaying so I was hoping to get some opinions on what a sensible bid would be Pictured below are the actual Coins. Report this Post to the Staff

TimNH Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 02/10/2025 11:44 am I like buying this stuff, and the older (non-Roosevelt/Washington) coins go for a bit more than melt. Mercury dimes right now go for about $2.50 each, a bit more if they are older as some of these are, with a good number of 1910s-20s. There are also ebay fees and shipping to take another bite. I'd go $80 on this including shipping. Report this Post to the Staff
TeeEss86 Valued Member United States 181 Posts	Posted 02/10/2025 12:05 pm Thanks ratman4762 & TimNH I suppose I would have to agree with both of you, the only decent year would be the 1919-S but it looks maybe VG12? Report this Post to the Staff

TimNH Valued Member United States 393 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 7:15 pm Thought I'd check back in on this one, the lot went for $97 incl. shipping, well above my $80 estimate. When you get a lot of Mercurys they are usually mostly 1940s, maybe this was more appealing w/ the nice scattering of dates back to the earliest. Or maybe there was a semi-rare date in there, any case good to watch and learn the market. Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4577 Posts	Posted 02/19/2025 8:48 pm I guess it depends what you want for the album. I think you could pick up a batch of nice 1930s thru 1945 dimes for cheap, then fill other dates. Report this Post to the Staff
