<p>[QUOTE=&quot;totally, post: 2475161, member: 80371&quot;]The amount of scrap silver in a mercury dime is like $1 or 2 (<a href="http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1916-1945-Silver-Mercury-Dime-Value.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1916-1945-Silver-Mercury-Dime-Value.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.coinflation.com/coins/1916-1945-Silver-Mercury-Dime-Value.html</a>). So your blue book prices are numismatic values, not scrap prices. So it doesn&#039;t matter if the price of silver goes from $13 to $20 an ounce because the price in the book isn&#039;t based off the price of silver.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the numismatic value of the mercury dime series has fallen a little year over year. One could reasonably make a case that mercs, especially the 1916D are very overvalued compared to their numismatic rarity. Maybe people just are paying a little less for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edit - spelling[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
