What is the value of an 1850 us dime?

Answer 1

1850 isn't considered to be a particularly rare year for Liberty Seated dimes. Look on the back of the coin to see if there's a small mint mark letter. It may be blank or there may be an O.

Numismedia lists the following approximate retail values as of 06/2010:

No mint mark (Philadelphia):

Very worn condition - $1,000,000,00

Moderately worn - $200,000,000
