How much is a 1942 Mercury Dime worth?

The 1942 Mercury dime is worth anywhere between $0.10 and $1,000, depending on the condition and mint mark of the coin.

The most valuable 1942 Mercury dimes are those that were minted in San Francisco, as only a small number of these coins were produced. The lowest mintage of 1942 Mercury dimes belongs to the San Francisco Mint, with a mintage of only 1,100,000.

The lowest mintage of all Mercury dimes is the 1942/1-D Mercury dime. This coin is so rare that it has been graded and certified by the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) as "genuine" and "rare". The current market value of the 1942/1-D Mercury dime is estimated to be around $1,000.

As a result, this coin is considered to be one of the rarest and most valuable Mercury dimes in existence.
