You've got to be very specific. First off, there are no Mercury Head quarters. There are however Mercury dimes produced during 1916, along with Barber dimes produced during 1916. If you have a Barber dime dated 1916 it is worth a few bucks for silver depending on the condition. On the other hand, if you have a Mecury dime with a 1916 and a D mintmark on the reverse, you have a coin worth several hundred to several thousands of dollars depending on condition. If you have just a 1916 dime with no, or another mintmark, it is only worth a few bucks for silver. There are also quarters produced in 1916. Like the dime there were 2 designs that year, the more common Barber quarter worth about $7 in scrap depending on the condition, and the key-dated 1916 Standing Liberty Quarter worth several hundred dollars depending on condition. So without knowing what your coin is, it is impossible to say how much it is worth.

There is no such thing as an 1899 mercury dime. Mercury dimes were not introduced until 1916. The Barber dimes that were in circulation in 1899 are made of 90% silver and are worth about $1.15 in metal value. The collector's value of the coin is highly variable, being affected by the condition the coin is in and the mint it was made at.
