Type: Mercury Dime Year: 1941 Mint Mark: S Face Value: 0.10 USD Total Produced: 43,090,000 Silver Content: 90% Silver Weight: .0723 oz. Silver Melt: $1.25 Value: As a rough estimate of this coins value you can assume this coin in average condition will be valued at somewhere around $2, while one in certified mint state (MS+) condition could bring as much as $50 at auction. This price does not reference any standard coin grading scale. So when we say average, we mean in a similar condition to other coins issued in 1941, and mint state meaning it is certified MS+ by one of the top coin grading companies. Additional Info: The 1941 (s) San Fran minted Mercury dimes are the rarest of the dimes issued this year. They represent around 15% of the coins issued this year. Numismatic vs Intrinsic Value: This coin in poor condition is still worth $0.75 more than the intrinsic value from silver content of $1.25, this coin is thus more valuable to a collector than to a silver bug. Coins worth more to a collectors may be a better long term investment. If the metal prices drop you will still have a coin that a numismatic would want to buy.
