These dimes are amazing to hold in your hand. Hard to believe that one 90% silver dime sells for 20 times it’s face value. Holding dollars over time is a guaranteed loser. CDs, certificates of deposit should be more so called certified depreciation.
- Pros
- Attractive Design
- Bottom Line
- Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

Great addition to the stack. Found 4 Barbers and 3 Rosie's mixed with the Mercs. Most pieces have a legible date, not many slicks.
- Pros
- Value (low premium over spot)
- Collectible (lower mintage)
- Bottom Line

I love Mercury dimes, always have. And when the price of silver dropped a tad, and they had a special on "junk" silver on special, I took the opportunity to purchase a $50 dollar face-value of Mercury Dimes. And yes, you will get "dirty fingers" when you go through the bag of dimes but it was worth it. I only got maybe 10 dimes that were slicks, though I could "just" make out the year if I held the dime at the right angle. No biggie for me though. I'm glad that I'm just able to purchase these (and quarters) still. Catch them when they go on sale, buy what you can---while you can, and put them away for a "rainy day". Thanks APMEX, keep up the great work.

The bag had 500 dimes, however, three were Roosevelts and one was a severely damaged/corroded Mercury (obverse not recognizable). Varying dates with mostly late years, but did have a few 1916-1919s, though they showed a lot of wear and are not gradable. A few were still in VG condition but that's 10-20 of 500. Great buy for silver value, not for collector. Will need to return a few coins.

This was my second bag of Mercury Dimes, and it was nowhere near as interesting as my first. Most of the coins were from the 40s, in varying conditions but none great. It truly was a bag of junk silver. The fun in this for me is coming across at least one coin that jumps out as something special, and that wasn't to be found in this bag.

Nice bag of Mercury silver dimes as ordered. Only a couple slick, but could make out the dates still and since I'm only after silver not collectables that's fine. Had 3 Roosevelts mixed in that were also silver so whatever as far as I'm concerned. Will continue to buy more from APMEX!
