How Much is a Silver Dime Worth?
Pre-1965 US Dimes (Roosevelt and Mercury series) contain 90% silver. Each coin weighs 2.50 grams and yields 0.0723 troy ounces of pure silver.
The Most Common "Junk Silver"
Silver dimes are highly favored by "stackers" and survivalists because their fractional silver content makes them excellent for small bartering scenarios. Remember: 10 silver dimes equals exactly the same amount of silver as 4 silver quarters.
