Nope. You have a novelty item made by cutting apart a penny and a dime, then hollowing out the back of the penny and popping the dime-half into it like the lid on a sandwich box.

What is a dime with a penny on the back worth?

5.5 cents, LOL! But seriously, what you have is a trick coin made by cutting two genuine coins in half and fusing half of each together. It's not a mint error and has no numismatic value, I'm afraid.You can make it by doing the following 1)get a peeny and a dime 2)put the penny down on a train track(heads up)and put a dime on top of it 3)when a train rolls by and its gone pick up the coin and whala you have a dime head and a penny tail(may not always work)


What is the value of a 1865 dime in fair condition with three bars on back of coin?

Remember Roman numerals? "III" means 3, so you have a 3-cent coin, not a dime. It's an obsolete denomination that was issued to make it easier to buy postage stamps, way back when they only cost three cents.There's more information at the Related Question.


What is the value of a 1937 flowing hair dime?

The US never minted a flowing-hair dime. A dime from 1937 would be a Winged Liberty dime, normally called a "Mercury" dime because the wings on Miss Liberty's cap make her resemble the Roman god Mercury. Please see the question "What is the value of a 1937 Mercury dime?" for more information.

What is the value of a 1923 dime and is that dime mercury or silver?

Uh, remember high school chemistry? Mercury is a LIQUID at room temperature so it would be really, really, REALLY tough to make a coin out of it! This design is nicknamed a "Mercury" dime because the portrait of Miss Liberty with a winged liberty cap looks a lot like the Roman god Mercury, NOT because it's made of the metal mercury. Anyway, look at the back of your dime by the E in the word ONE. If there is a tiny S there your dime was made in San Francisco and is worth anywhere from $2 if very worn, up to about $15 with only moderate wear. If there's no letter it was struck in Philadelphia and is worth from $2 to $4.
