<p>[QUOTE="Cloudsweeper99, post: 69326, member: 3011"]Pre 1965 dimes are 90% silver. I rounded down a bit to account for wear and assumed each dime has .07 ounces. Another way to do it is to figure out the multiple of face value that they should sell for based on the silver content. This would be about 5X face value, but probably a bit less if you tried to sell to a dealer since they have to make a profit too. The ones I bought aren't really that worn and all have readable dates, but probably have minimal collectors value [I haven't checked them carefully yet]. I don't think I would have much trouble selling them at a small profit on Ebay based on the silver content, but I plan to keep them for now. Silver is currently underpriced in my opinion and I love silver coins of all types when they can be purchased for less than bullion value. This particular transaction wasn't as good as finding them in rolls, but I couldn't pass it up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
