<p>[QUOTE=&quot;messydesk, post: 2962962, member: 1765&quot;]Assuming no wear, a Mercury dime has .0723 oz of silver in it.&nbsp; Worn to VF, a tiny bit less.&nbsp; You might be able to get circulated common dates for .075 * spot (assuming you buy a small pile at once), and sell them at .069 * spot.&nbsp; Whatever you lose monetarily when you sell will be the cost of enjoying the hobby.&nbsp; If silver goes up a bunch, then you&#039;ll make money, which will be a nice bonus.&nbsp; For buying, try local coin shops, CA$$$$H FOR GOOOLLLDDD!!!111 places, and jewelry shops that take in silver and are only interested in moving it as silver.&nbsp; It might take a few visits and purchases before they know that you&#039;re a regular that they should set stuff aside for.&nbsp; Onesy-twosy purchases on eBay will tend to make the post office a lot of money at your expense.&nbsp; There are several people selling mixed dates by the roll there for close to spot (currently $62.18/roll), and this is what I&#039;d start with.&nbsp; Do not be conned by people selling &quot;cheap&quot; rolls that show a Mercury dime on one end, however.&nbsp; They&#039;re full of clad Roosevelts or cents.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
