It's not a dime, the III is the Roman numeral 3 so you have a 3-cent piece.

That odd denomination was issued (along with a $3 coin) to make it easier to buy postage stamps when they cost 3¢. There are 2 varieties from that year:

One variety is made of copper-nickel and has Miss Liberty's picture on the front. As of 12/2008 its retail value ranges from $15 in worn condition to about $30 with only slight wear.

The other variety is made of silver and copper, and has a star on the front. It's much scarcer and is worth $335 to over $500 depending on its condition.
