    I apologize. The thread is what's it worth, and I just assumed everyone had telepathy. I'm very new to all of this, so it most likely won't be the last time I make a mistake like this. My question is... What it may be worth? Hard to see in pics but it is mirror-like shiny with not a scratch, etc. I bought it off eBay a few years ago and just ran across it recently in my treasure box.

    Welcome to Cointalk Hissinfulchk! Some folks like to ignore the obvious and would rather come back with a quick remark rather then actually help people here...

    Unless the proof dime is Deep Cameo or extremely high grade then it is probably worth $5 or so as Tyler mentioned. If it has been circulated at all it would only be worth melt value, which is the same for the War Nickel you posted in the other thread. A good place to find values for old US silver coins is www.coinflation.com which is updated with the spot price of silver.
    Enjoy!

    "BU Proof" is an oxymoron.

    oxymoron - a of speech in which incongruous or contradictory terms appear side by side

    BU = Brilliant Uncirculated

    An uncirculated coin is not Proof and a Proof coin is not uncirculated.

    So the coin is either BU or Proof but not both.

    Your coin does not appear to be Proof so I will say it is uncirculated.

    The blue color of the photos is kind of funky. Could you post some pictures in natural color?
