Dimes have been made from 1796 to 2010 with 7 different series, so which ones are you asking about?
Dimes are more valuable than their face value primarily for coins minted before 1965, which are composed of 90% silver. These dimes, often referred to as "silver dimes," include those minted in 1964 and earlier. In addition, dimes from certain years or with specific mint marks may have numismatic value beyond their silver content. Therefore, collectors often find dimes from 1964 and earlier to be more valuable than their face value.
The most valuable U.S. dimes are typically the rare 1894-S Barber dime, which can fetch prices exceeding $1.9 million at auction, particularly in high-grade condition. Other valuable dimes include the 1916 Mercury dime and certain varieties of the 1942, 1943, and 1944 Mercury dimes, which can also be worth thousands due to their rarity and collector demand. Additionally, uncirculated or error dimes can significantly increase in value.
It's not that simple. It depends on the coin's date and condition. Sometimes Mercury dimes from Denver are the most valuable, sometimes San Francisco. See the link page below for prices by mint mark and condition.
Dimes made prior to 1964 are made of silver, so they have a higher value than face for their silver content. Most of the rest will depend heavily on specifics and conditions. A 1916-D Grade 4 is worth $784. Most of the rest are very, very old and not likely to be found in circulation. There are a couple of proof coins that should be marked with an S (1968 and 1970) that are not that have some good value.

In general, the earlier dates are less common and more valuable than later years. Most dimes before the 1930s have some premium. Coins from WWII generally sell for around melt value.
