<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 742175, member: 4552"]Remember those values for a Mercury Dime is based on no wear. As a coin wears it looses material and some of the Mercury Dimes I've seen appear to have lost a large percentage of material. For one coin at a time it is minor but for a large, bulk quantity, the loss could be substantial. All the so called bulk or melt prices listed for any coins are usually based on an entire coin and not ones that are worn considerably. </p><p>At a flea market a few weeks ago a person was selling those types for $1.16 each. At another flea market someone was selling them for $1.25 each lately but used to sell for $1 each until he found out about the price of Silver. At most coin shows I go to dealers seldom sell any Mercury Dimes for melt. To them all Mercury Dimes are collectors pieces and sell for whatever the Grey Sheet claims or whatever they can get.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
