I found a 1946 dime from sorting pennies, which according to coinflation.com is two years short of a silver dime. Just missed it...

a 1944 dime is a Mercury dime.. all of them are silver.  |
If your percentages are low.. just sort more. If your percentages are high.. just sort more.

All dimes from 1916-1964 are the same size and silver value - here is today's coinflation values:
1916-1945 Mercury Dime $0.10 $1.21
1946-1964 Roosevelt Dime $0.10 $1.21
Nice job finding a Mercury Dime! Never seen one of those in the wild. |

| You must have meant to say 1966. Close, but no cigar. |

He edited it to 1946.. still silver.
I have only found 1 Mercury dime in the wild in a penny roll, and only 2 silver Rosies.. tougher to find in penny rolls than Indians. |

| Kind of like hunting Grizzly Bears in the wilds of Africa. Rare thing in the wrong place, but what a great find for luke! |

So you thought you made a mistake, but you were mistaken.
I'll have to ponder that for a while. |
A penny sorted is a penny earned!

| It is almost rare when I don't find a regular dime in a box.. gotta love those Brinks wrapping machines. |

Check You must be logged in to see this link.
But dimes, quarters, halves, and dollar coins 1964 and early are all silver. There is more know, but that is a good start. Also you can look at the edge of the coin and check for the copper layer. If it is not there, it is silver. |

I looked there, that's the info I have, but Hoard said "He edited it to 1946.. still silver". |
