What year dimes are worth money?

Dimes minted before 1965 are worth more than their face value due to the silver content. These dimes are composed of 90% silver and 10% copper, and they weigh 2.5 grams. The silver content of these dimes is worth about $1.50, depending on the current spot price of silver.

The following are some of the most valuable dimes:

* 1943-S Mercury dime: This dime is worth about $200 in good condition. It is a rare coin, with only about 10,000 minted.

* 1955-D Mercury dime: This dime is worth about $100 in good condition. It is also a rare coin, with only about 1.2 million minted.

* 1964-D Roosevelt dime: This dime is worth about $50 in good condition. It is the last year that dimes were minted in 90% silver.

In addition to these specific dates, any dime minted before 1965 is worth more than its face value due to the silver content. The value of these dimes will vary depending on the condition of the coin and the current spot price of silver.
