There is in fact no mint mark on the 1911 V-Nickel. The V nickel was struck at all 3 operating mints in the year 1912. If there in no mint mark it is the Philadelphia mint. The mint mark can be located between the word ''CENTS" and the dot on the obverse of the coin. While many people erroneously assume "V" stands for Victory, Victoria, or some other name, it's simply the Roman numeral for the coin's denomination .... 5 cents.
Remember Roman numerals? "V" = 5, so you have a nickel. Like all US nickels except those made during WWII, it's struck in an alloy of 25% nickel and 75% copper.

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.
Witha date of 1911 this is a Liberty Head nickel, none of them were ever struck in silver, it's copper-nickel hence the name "Nickel." Retail values for coins of this date in average circulated condition run from $3.00-$5.00.
