The U.S. has never struck dimes in gold. For one thing, at current prices even a dime-sized gold coin would be worth over $60.

Your coin has either been plated for use in jewelry or as a novelty piece, or it's been exposed to something like heat or chemical agents that discolored it. Either way, it's considered an altered coin with no numismatic value.

What is the value of a 1977 dime no mint mark?

A 1977 dime without a mint mark typically has a value of about 10 to 25 cents, depending on its condition. In uncirculated or mint condition, it could be worth slightly more, but it generally does not hold significant numismatic value. Most dimes from this era are valued primarily for their silver content, which is minimal since they are primarily made of copper and nickel.


What is the value of an unreeded dime?

If it has a normal diameter it's unlikely to be an error coin. It couldn't be struck without the press collar that gives the coin its reeds. If you can get hold of a micrometer measuring device, compare the dime to a normal reeded one. If it's slightly smaller, the reeds are missing either due to wear or because someone smoothed them off with metalworking tools. In either case it's just a curiosity with no collector value, I'm afraid.

What is value 1854 half dime w arrows o?

Depending on the condition it is worth 25 to 25000 dollars. The O stands for New Orleans mint the arrows is something they did 1853 through 1855. The 1854 O with arrows was not an uncommon coin but has become one. One thing to understand is through out the years there are certain points when coins where melted because of a high silver price. A lot of people held on to the rare mintages and disposed of the more common dates. According to the PCGS population estimate only 300 survive today the rarity rating in any condition is 6.4 which makes this a rare coin. The scale is 1 to 10 1 being over a million around 10 being the only known example. I just happen to have a dime like this that is in F to VF condition that's worth about 30 to 40 dollars. My advise is hold on to it if you can and don't sell it for scrap silver you would only get 1 dollar out of it; There are plenty of 1964 dimes for that. PS I originally answered this thinking it was a dime but I see it is a half dime the value is greater than the dime.


What is the value of a 1973-s Roosevelt dime?

The only 1973 dimes to carry an S mint mark were made for sale in proof sets, so if your coin has that letter on it, it's from a proof set that someone broke up and spent. The fact that it was put into circulation destroyed any extra value it had as a proof coin but you haven't lost much because it was only worth maybe 45 or 50 cents before someone took it out of its original Mint packaging. In any case it's an interesting curiosity to hold onto.
