The Mercury Dime (or Winged Liberty Head dime) was produced by the United States government from 1916 to 1945. The coin weighs 2.5 grams and is composed of 90% silver and 10% copper.
Values for Mercury Dimes fluctuate with current silver prices. This tie to silver prices is especially true for common dates in average condition, because most of their value is derived from the silver content rather than scarcity. Silver prices are provided in Troy ounces. On April 3, 2012 the spot price of silver was $32.68. Multiplying the price for silver by .0723 will give you the value of the silver in a Mercury Dime, also known as the melt value. On April 3 the melt value was $2.36.
