1921 Mercury Dime

Notes: This is the last year that mercury silver dimes were made before the "break" in 1922. The coins resumed minting in 1923. These coins are 90% silver, and important date in minting history. Mercury dimes are at a premium when they have FB or Full Bands.

How much is a 1921 Mercury Dime worth?

In Average Circulated (AC) condition it's worth around $59.00, one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $3,000 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say Average Circulated, we mean in a similar condition to other coins circulated in 1921, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. *** [?].
