Metal (melt) value of one coin
Mercury and Roosevelt dimes dated 1964 and earlier, struck in 90% silver.
0.072339 troy oz of fine silver × 49.12 USD per troy ounce = 3.5529 USD. The value follows the live spot price and changes with the market.
The metal value is what the gold or silver alone is worth. Dealers and jewellers sell coins above it to cover minting, their margin and, for jewellery coins, workmanship; they usually buy back slightly below it. Rare dates and collector grades can be worth far more than their metal.
