1916 very large mercury dime you thought it was steel but its not what is the value of this?

Don't feel alone because you aren't the only one with a very large dime. A friend of mine brought a 1916 Barber/Liberty Head Dime to me, which is the size of a silver dollar! It is an exact replica of the standard size dime and as far as I can tell, it is composed of the same minerals. Unfortunately, after hours and hours of searching the Internet, there is no evidence which supports that the dime was ever an actual US Minted Coin, nor were any over sized or "Large" dimes minted by the US Treasury in 1916 for circulation, collectors items, or any other purpose. It is my opinion that my friend's dime and probably your dime as well, were manufactured as a novelty piece and were intended to be worn as a necklace. To answer your question regarding 'value' ... I suggest you take it to your local jeweler who advertises as being a purchaser of old jewelry, etc. for the melt value. The highest price I found to be paid for a Morgan Silver Dollar melt was around $24.00. The average price paid was $11.00 and change. The lowest price being paid was $4.00 and change. As close as I will 'guess' as being the value of your "very large mercury dime" ... is a value ranging between $4.00 and $24.00. I hope this has been helpful to you.

How much is a 1906 mercury dime worth?

The funny thing about this is I have been told repeatedly that a 1906 mercury dime doesn't exist and it must be a 1916 dime but my dime is clearly marked 1906.A coin dealer told be it can't be valued as it is not listed so it appears you and I now hold a 1906 mercury dime which is said not to exist!MoreThe information that there's no such coin is absolutely correct. The design wasn't prepared until 1915 and the coins were first issued in mid-1916 so a "1906 Mercury dime" would be about as likely to exist as an mp3 player from 1970.There are at least 3 possibilities:1. You have a 1906 Barber dime, named for its designer Charles Barber. The image of Miss Liberty is similar but she doesn't have a winged liberty cap.2. It's a 1916 Mercury dime with damage or deliberate alteration to the "1" in the date. Because of their small size dimes are prone to an error called a filled die. That happens when some crud gets caught in the tiny recess that forms a letter or number when the coin is struck. The gunk alters the appearance of the character; sometimes it doesn't show at all, as happened when a filled die obliterated the D mintmark on some 1922 cents made in Denver.3. Someone made a fantasy piece, or was trying to counterfeit a genuine Mercury dime but got the date wrong. It's happened before - look up "Henning nickels" and "1865 Washington quarters" for example.


How much is a 1916 silver dime worth?

I have a coin that looks like the picture of a mercury dime, it's 1916D.But it is about the size of a baseball. Is it even real?No - it's a novelty item that sells for a few dollars in gift shops. There are several companies that make coasters and paperweights, usually about 10 cm in diameter, that carry the date and denomination of famous US coins.


How do you identify a 1945 s dime?

There are two types of 1945-S Mercury Dimes. One has a normal S mintmark (the "S" indicates that the coin was minted in San Francisco), and the other has a micro S mintmark. The micro S is the more valuable of the two. A micro S can be best identified by comparing the size of the "S" on the 1945 dime to the size of the "S" on another year of Mercury dime. In other words, you are comparing the 1945 "S" to an "S" that is sure to be normal size.


What is the monetary value of a 1911 mercury dime with a V on the back?

My strong guess is that your "dime" is actually the same size and thickness as a nickel, because .................. it IS a nickel. The "V" is of course the Roman numeral meaning 5.In addition, it's not made of silver, but an alloy of copper and nickel, AND it could not have the so-called Mercury design because that wasn't introduced until 1916.What you have is called a Liberty nickel. 1911 is a fairly common year: In worn condition it retails for about $3. With moderate wear, about $10, and with almost no wear, $30.
