1944 Mercury Dime

[J.A. Collection]

Hello all - I am going thru my 'collection' and adding them all to the Liberty Street software. I was wondering if I could get some information on this coin and a possible unofficial grading. Thanks in advance!

Welcome to our friendly little neighborhood!

 

Based on the small images, I'd guess VF-30.

Thanks for the kind welcome James_EarlyUS!!! I will try and post better pics tomorrow - the above images were from a scanner.

That's about the grade, but it's only worth silver value. Maybe $3?

Agree-- VF 30

According to Liberty Street's CoinManage2011, a VF30 for the 1944 Mercury Dime is $4.67. Does that sound right? Sorry - very new at collecting.

More like $3.50 retail. Melt is currently $2.60. Somewhere in the middle would be a fair price for buyer AND seller.......$3.00. IMHO.

Its going to sell for whatever its silver price is, and not a whole lot more. Right now, that is $2.60.

Worth about $3.25 but still a nice Mercury. If silver goes up it goes up too.

 

They can't all be MS-66!

I agree with what has been said here; the coin is VF30 and the coin is worth a bit more than spot.

[Coindude]

I would think you will only get melt value.

[Kamillion]

well your all 1/2 right/wrong

 

it depends where you sell it, if thats what you plan on doing

 

if you bring to a dealer or pawn they will give melt or less

 

if you sell online like ebay, it will have a premium slightly, bc it is a coin not a bar. (more collectible)

vf ish

[Coindude]

If you sell it at a pawn shop they will give you a lot less than melt. If you sell it on ebay, you'll get near melt and have to pay fees and shipping, therefore you'll get less than melt. If this is the only silver coin you have, keep it, if you're thinking of selling a decent amount of them, list it on the Marketplace where you'll get right at spot.

Not looking to sell at all - more curious on condition rating and value. I'm trying to find a hobby and I think this may be it.

[Coindude]

Even better!!
