Quoted from the Red-Book, "Although this coin is commonly called the Mercury Dime, the main device is in face a representation of Liberty. The wings crowning her cap are intended to sybolize liberty of thought." These were Minted from 1916-1945. For values, pictures would be needed, as the condition of the coin can drastically affect any value.
These are all fairly common dates of the series, unless they are in very nice shape (as in they look brand new), they are worth the value of the silver in them. Equal to $2.38 each by today's silver price of $32.60 per ounce.
Try here, but you will need an idea of the grade. Even without the grade, it will tell you if the ones you have are scarce or not. (if even the low grades are valuable).
Yup, most would have to be about VF or higher to start around the $10 range in value and of course worth more if they're higher than VF. Although the 1917-D is likely the nicest piece in this bunch, in G4 condition it can start at around the $5 range and in VF condition could be in the $20 range and up, etc. The key dates in this series is the 1916-D and both the 1921 and 1921-D. 1926-S is more of a semi-key coin.
That 1917-D looks to be in poor shape, the picture is small but I'd give it an AG3 grade, which puts the value at around melt. Seems the rest are likely about the same in grade or value judging from those pics. Welcome to the world of coin collecting, you got yourself $32.96 in silver value from 14 dimes.
From the looks of them, silver value is about all they are worth. Perhaps the sentimental value is much higher. Sorry about the loss of your father.
Yup. I inherited all of my dad's coins this past year after he passed, some are not worth diddly squat but the sentimental value alone makes them priceless. Keep them and enjoy them My dad loved coins so much and especially the American Silver Eagle, I sent him off with one in his casket, figured he would have liked that. :hail:
Judging by the pictures and the dates supplied I'd say they are worth melt value. But the sentimental value is, as they say in the commercials, priceless. Keep them and pass them on to the next generation.
