The Mercury dime had 2.5 grams of mass, of which 90% was silver.
So, on the Earth, it would take 202 of them ($20.20 face value) to yield 1 pound of silver.
At the time of this writing (July 21, 2013), the most recent NY closing spot bid for
silver was $19.375 an ounce, so I'd imagine that anyone who had any mercury
dimes laying around either melted them or sold them a long time ago.
