Any dime made before 1965 is 90% silver, even in very poor condition, they are worth about $2.20 for their silver content. Dimes dated 1965 and later unless in mint packaging are only worth their face value, 10 cents.

Key dates for Mercury Dimes include the 1916 D dime (very rare) and the 1942/1 overdate. Semi-key dates include 1921, 1921-D, 1926-S, 1931-S, 1931-S.

The key date for Roosevelt Dimes is 1949-S. Semi-keys include 1949, 1950-S, 1951-S, 1952-S.

Barber dimes and prior should be checked and graded by a coin dealer because some coins are very scarce to find in higher grades. Though, well-worn Barber dimes are often times sold for simply the scrap price of silver, even well-worn Seated Liberty coins carry a premium over scrap prices.
