No US dime exist dated 1804 that is not the Draped Bust type or has the phrase "One Dime" on the reverse, the 1804 dime does Not have a denomination any were on the coin. The 1837 Seated Liberty dime is the first year "One Dime" appears on the reverse of a 10 cent coin and in 1892 the Barber series also used a very similar reverse design. You may have a 1904 Barber dime with so much wear the date is not clear. Take a good look at the coin and post new question.
There's no dime called a "wheat dime". There are the famous wheat CENTS, of course, that carry the images of two wheat ears on the back, but a 1910 dime has a wreath on the back and is frequently called a Barber dime after its designer Charles Barber.
Sorry, no US dimes were struck in 1991 with a V on the back
Back in 1903, the nickel was called, the "Liberty" nickel. The name "Mercury" only refers to the dime and came into circulation in 1916. The "Mercury" dime was produced until 1945. In 1946 to present, it is called the "Roosevelt" dime.

Please check your pocket change. You should be able to find dimes dating back to 1965 when the current copper-nickel composition was introduced. Any ordinary dime with that date or later that you find in change will be worth face value only.

From 1837 to 2010 all US dimes have the phrase "ONE DIME" on the reverse so if it has a date of 1964 or earlier it's 90% silver and worth at least $1.00 for the silver in it.

If you found it in change, 10 cents. It's way too new to have any special value. In fact, most circulation dimes going back to 1965 are only worth a dime because they don't contain any silver.
You're probably going to have to go back to the coin for this one and give us some more detail. The shield nickel was not minted until 1866, and it didn't contain any silver. The half dime, which preceded the nickel and was worth five cents but looked more like a small dime than a modern nickel shape, was not mined in 1804. So, check the date, and the denomination. Pictures or a description of the devices would be helpful.
Remember Roman numerals? V = 5, not 10, so you have a nickel. That's also why it's the size of a nickel, not the size of a dime. Please see the Related Question for values.
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. Please see the Related Question for details
