The 1881 three cent nickel (which has exactly the same diameter as a dime - 17.9mm) is a common date for the type. The coin is worth $15-$25 in circulated condition, $40-$60 in very nice circulated condition, and $100 or more in uncirculated condition. You should see a reputable coin dealer to get a better estimate of value.

How much is a silver dime 1865 III worth?
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.

What do US coins in 1852 look like?
Most of the silver coinage, like the half dime (worth 5 cents and struck in silver, the nickel wouldn't be minted until much later), the dime, the quarter, and the half-dollar used the seated Liberty design along with the silver dollar. The penny was a lot larger than the penny we use today, closer to the size of a half dollar, and used the braided hair design. There was also a three-cent piece which was really small, made out of silver and had a star on one side and a C and III on the other. There was also a small gold dollar, smaller than a dime but made out of 90% pure gold. There were other gold coins too, the quarter eagle, worth $2.50, half eagle worth $5, eagle worth $10, along with the double eagle worth $20, each of them struck with 90% pure gold (alloyed with 10% copper to make the coins scratch and wear resistant).
