Are some mercury dimes worth more than others?

Question

I have a BIG bag of mercury dimes that I want to sell. Should I just roll them or should I sort them first?

Answer 1

Are they ever.  A 16 d is worth darn near a fortune.  It is very sought after.  Also 21 d and 21 are sought after but not nearly so much as the 16 d.  The value of the dimes is dependent on their condition.  Ones that are not worn are worth considerably more than ones that are.  The most common dates are dates in the 40s.  But they go for about $135 per $10 worth on ebay in worn condition.

Answer 2

Rolled  you  will  get  10  cents  each .

At  a   coin  dealer  you   would  get  much  more  but  do  not  bother  rolling  them  because   they  need  to  see  dates  and  condition .

How  did  you  come  to  have  a  bag  of  mercury  dimes  and  No  clue  as  to  what  they  really  are  ?

Answer 3

Yes. Older ones are worth more (they started making them in 1916.) Also, many of them have defects from minting such as missing details, particularly on the fasces on the reverse, or one date stamped over another. Before you sell them off, take them to a dealer and have them appraised. Some can be worth a lot of money.
