What is the value of a 1910 US dime?

Answer 1

Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter below the wreath. It may be blank or there may be a D or S.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 06/2012:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $4

Moderately worn - $6

Slightly worn - $8

Almost no wear - $59

Uncirculated - $103 to $14,950 depending on quality

"D" mint mark (Denver):

Very worn - $4

Moderately worn - $10

Slightly worn - $18

Almost no wear - $117

Uncirculated - $228 to $7,120

"S" mint mark (San Francisco):

Very worn - $6

Moderately worn - $50

Slightly worn - $73

Almost no wear - $196

Uncirculated - $420 to $8,870

These coins are often called "Barber dimes" after their designer, Charles Barber.

DISCLAIMER: The retail values quoted are the best available as of the date shown, but may vary significantly due to changes in the precious metals market. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a coin will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable coin dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on inspection of the coin.

While 1910 is not a rare date for Barber dimes, it is silver, so at a minimum it has a current silver value of about a dollar.

You also need to check the back, near the bottom, for a mintmark. There may be a "D" or an "S" there.

With full rims on both sides, and an "S" mintmark, it's worth about $3.00

If all the letters of LIBERTY on the headband are readable, then with no mintmark it's worth $2, with a "D" mintmark it's worth $6, or with an "S" mintmark it's worth $35

If all the details are strong, with only a slight amount of visible wear, then with no mintmark it's worth $15, with a "D" mintmark it's worth $35, or with an "S" mintmark it's worth $80

If your coin is a nice uncirculated example, then with no mintmark it's worth $75, with a "D" mintmark it's worth $150, or with an "S" mintmark it's worth $300
