There were no 1898 Mercury Dimes released, Mercury dimes refer to dimes struck from 1916-1945 that depict Liberty with wings on her head. Instead an 1898 dime is known as a "Barber" dime after Charles Barber who designed it. Look at the back of your coin, if your coin has no mintmark, it is just worth scrap in heavily circulated condition (about $2 or so) If it has an O or S it has modest value of about $5 in worn condition (although the value jumps dramatically in better condition, particularly with the 1898-O)
The reason your "dime" is the size of a nickel is that it's not a dime, it's a 5¢ coin. If you remember Roman numerals, V is the symbol for 5. There's more information at the Related Question.
