Silver dime 1911

I'm trying to find out how much an 1911 silver dime is worth. On the back of the dime it has a V with wheat around it.

It sounds like what you have there is actually a Liberty Head or "V-Nickel".


A good rule of thumb for value is looking at liberty's head piece to see how many letters of "LIBERTY" are visible.

If all the letters are obliterated the coin is probably worth less than $2.00. (Good condition or worse)

A partial LIBERTY would mean VG condition and about $2.50 of value.

Full LIBERTY means $4.50 plus depending on the condition from there.

I hope this helps you out!

 

Psssssssssst, they'll want a piccie.

It's value depends on what kind of shape it's in. On the up side, if you can get a picture for the folks around here they'll be able to give you a pretty good idea of what you've got.

One or two may even be able to tell you what kind of gum the guy running the press that made it was chewing. They're scary that way.

 

thank you. Yes this helps. I quess it's not worth anythig even though it's really old.

 

Depends on how you define worth Annshecur. For one, it is a nickle, in fine condition could be worth $4 ish
That is 80X the face value.
Secondly, it is really old, a part of history, and somethign that is often sought after by others. Value can be estimated but it all dwells down to how much someone is willing to pay for it.
Thirdly, if you are like me and want a whole set of "V" nickels, it is a step in that direction. Every great collection, large and small, began with a coin.

 

Yes...we need a picture as then its more easy to see and judge...

 

I

 

I also have a 1911 dime with a V on the back surrounded by wheat. Liberty head is on the front surrounded by stars...what is the value??

 

1911 v dime

I also have this dime and would like to know the value...

 

Again its all about posting a picture.

 

age is not always a factor, I have 600 year old coins that are worth less then a few bucks.

 

We want pics.
A 'V' nickel can go from $5 to $5000!!
All depending upon condition.
WE WANT THE PICS:loud::loud::loud:

 

It is a dime, sorry!

 

it is a dime, sorry

 

Photos. We need photos.

 

Is this a Canadian dime?

 

no..usa... it says 'cents' on it but I am not able to see the '10' or 'ten'...shall take it to a dealer.

 

The V means 5... *facepalm*

 

Why do you say it is a dime? Is it the size of a dime? Or is it the size of a nickel?

My bet (all along) is it is a Liberty or 'V' Nickel. (The 'V' on a 'V' Nickel signifies its value of 5 CENTS, the 'V' being a Roman Numeral 'FIVE'.)

 

Since 1838, all American 10-cent pieces have been inscribed with the word "dime".
Since 1864, the only American coins that have been inscribed with the word "cents" (plural) have been the short-lived 2-cent piece, and the nickel 5-cent piece (which first appeared in 1866).
