Dads Stuff Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 This is a listing of the dimes I am thinking about taking to the coin shop on the 22nd of this month. Dealer has offered me $10 for them sight unseen. All of these grade an F or below in my opinion. (for whatever that might be worth) Mercury Dimes 1916, graded G by someone at some time 1917, it has same amount of wear as above 1935S 1936S 1942 1943 1944 1944 1945S Roosevelt Dimes 1952D, crusty on reverse 1952S 1963D 1966 1967 1978S Seated Liberty 18??, Looks like a dirty penny, but its a dime. In terrible shape. Are there any in this list that set off an alarm bell and that I should reconsider? I a little uneasy about this. Thanks, Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burks Posted November 12, 2005 Report Share Posted November 12, 2005 There's nothing really "rare" there but the 1916 books for $3 in good condition ('06 Redbook price). That's the highest coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccg Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 If you ask me, $10 is a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 Generous dealer. $10 is more than I could go on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spike Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 By my rough calculations, the value of the silver in those coins is aproximately $7.00... I'd say $10 represents a decent premium on their bullion value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28Plain Posted November 13, 2005 Report Share Posted November 13, 2005 To each his own, but these are worth bullion value to me and a few have no bullion value at all. I currently pay 3.6 times face for 90% silver and sell it for 4 times face. Even when silver gets to $8 the melt price of silver US coins is below that of scrap sterling because they aren't really going to be melted.
