To find a rare standard circulation-strike dime you have to go all the way back to Mercury or "Barber" dimes. A few of the rarest ones are

1921: $55 to $2,000 depending on quality

1921-D: $70 to $2,500

1916-D: $900 to $21,000

1895-O: $330 to $21,000

but the absolute champ is the extremely rare 1894-S dime. Only a handful were made; at auction they've sold for $75,000 in very worn condition up to over $2 million in top quality.

There have also been several rare error dimes:

A few 1942 dimes were made with reused 1941 dies, resulting in a "42 over 41" date. These sell for several hundred to as much as $20,000 depending on condition and mint mark.

Some proof dimes were accidentally struck without mint marks in 1968, 1970, and 1983. These sell for several hundred to over $35,000, again depending on date and quality.
